Substance use and STI acquisition: Secondary analysis from the AWARE study.
Observational study in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesSexually transmitted infections (STIs) are significant public health and financial burdens in the United States. This manuscript examines the relationship between substance use and prevalent and incident STIs in HIV-negative adult patients at STI clinics.
methodsA secondary analysis of Project AWARE was performed based on 5012 patients from 9 STI clinics. STIs were assessed by laboratory assay and substance use by self-report. Patterns of substance use were assessed using latent class analysis. The relationship of latent class to STI rates was investigated using Poisson regression by population groups at high risk for STIs defined by participant's and partner's gender.
resultsDrug use patterns differed by risk group and substance use was related to STI rates with the relationships varying by risk behavior group. Substance use treatment participation was associated with increased STI rates.
conclusionsSubstance use focused interventions may be useful in STI clinics to reduce morbidity associated with substance use. Conversely, gender-specific sexual health interventions may be useful in substance use treatment.
