High Rates of Repeat Chlamydial Infections Among Young Women-Louisiana, 2000-2015.
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 7 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
backgroundChlamydial infections are common among young women and can lead to serious reproductive health complications. We assessed the risk of reported repeat chlamydial infection among young women in Louisiana and time interval between infections by age and race/ethnicity.
methodsWe analyzed surveillance data on chlamydial infections reported among women in Louisiana from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2015. Multiple reports for the same person were matched using unique codes. Chlamydial infections reported more than 30 days after a previous positive test were considered new infections. Women aged 15 to 34 years at first infection during 2000 to 2012 were censored after 3 years or after they had a repeat infection. Cumulative incidence and incidence rate of repeat chlamydial infection among women were determined by year of first infection. Race- and age-specific results were obtained using stratified analyses.
resultsOne in 4 women diagnosed with a chlamydial infection at 15-34 years of age in Louisiana had a reported repeat infection in 3 years or less. Risk of repeat infection increased for younger women, racial/ethnic minorities, and women in more recent cohorts. Young black women aged 15 to 19 years in 2012 had the highest risk (44%). Black women also had shorter intervals between infections than white women.
conclusionsRepeat chlamydial infections were common, especially among young black women. The true number is likely higher because surveillance data only count infections that were detected and reported. Comprehensive prevention strategies are needed to address high rates of repeat chlamydial infections among women.
