1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study examined over-reporting bias in self-reported condom use and assessed its association with syphilis. A survey was conducted among 1245 female sex workers (FSWs) in three cities in China. Respondent's over-reported condom use was defined as reporting no unprotected sex for the past 24 h but testing positive for prostate specific antigen. The proportion of prevalent syphilis and active syphilis was 23 and 10 % respectively among FSWs. The proportion of over-reported condom use with sex clients only was 27-45 % among the three study sites. The proportion of over-reported condom use with all sex partners (clients, husbands, or boyfriends) was 26-46 %. FSWs who had active or prevalent syphilis were more likely to over report condom use. Self-reported condom use may not be a valid tool to measure the efficacy of HIV/STI intervention because the bias is associated with the outcome measure, i.e., syphilis.
