Eviction From Renter-occupied Households and Rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections: A County-level Ecological Analysis.
Article in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
backgroundHousing instability is linked to numerous health outcomes, but the specific impact of eviction from renter-occupied households, an event that has immediate implications for residential stability for low-income individuals, on sexually transmitted infections (STI) rates has not been adequately studied.
methodsWe examined county-level associations between eviction rates in 2014 and rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea in the following year using publicly available data sources (Eviction Lab National Database and AtlasPlus, respectively). Descriptive statistics compared medians and nonparametric distributions with Krusal-Wallis tests. Linear regression was used to compare tertile categories of eviction rates and STI rates while controlling for potential confounders.
resultsMedian rates of chlamydia in counties with low, medium, and high rates of eviction were 229, 270, and 358 cases per 100,000 population, respectively (P < 0.001). The corresponding median rates of gonorrhea were 25, 37, and 75 cases per 100,000 population (P < 0.001). These associations remained statistically significant after controlling for all covariates in adjusted models. The beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for chlamydia and gonorrhea comparing high to low county-level eviction rates were 63.8 (95% CI, 45.1-82.5) and 20.4 (95% CI, 13.5-27.4), respectively. Similar associations were observed across levels of poverty and in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties.
conclusionsCounty-level eviction rates are associated with chlamydia and gonorrhea rates in a significant and robust way independent of other known predictors of STI. These results suggest that evictions result in residential instability in a way that may increase STI risk.
