High Rates of STIs in HIV-Infected Patients Attending an STI Clinic.
Article in Southern medical journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the rates and types of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attending a public STI clinic in Miami, Florida as compared with HIV-uninfected patients attending the same clinic.
methodsThis was a retrospective review of medical records of individuals attending the Miami-Dade County Health Department STI clinic from March 2012 to May 2012. Demographic and clinical information was abstracted and transferred to an electronic database. Consecutive age-matched HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients were identified during the study period. Demographics, risk factors, and history and rates of STIs for HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients and for those with newly diagnosed and previously diagnosed HIV infection were compared.
resultsA total of 175 medical records were reviewed (89 HIV-infected patients and 86 HIV-uninfected patients). The median age was 37 years. A history of STIs, including syphilis, was more common in HIV-infected than in HIV-uninfected patients. Individuals with a prior diagnosis of HIV were more likely to be older (older than 37 years of age, χ(2) = 15.3, P < 0.01), male (χ(2) = 4.74, P = 0.05), to have a new STI (χ(2) = 5.83, P = 0.01), to have a new diagnosis of syphilis (χ(2) = 5.15, P = 0.01), and to be under medical care (χ(2) = 31.19, P < 0.001) than those newly diagnosed as having HIV.
conclusionsHIV-infected individuals who attended this urban STI clinic had high rates of new and past STIs, suggesting the persistence of high-risk sexual behaviors. STI clinics could be a premier site to identify individuals with HIV and high-risk sexual behaviors who could benefit from additional targeted interventions.
