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

backgroundPopulation mobility and migration are important processes of human life. It affects broad range of sociocultural parameters. Mobility increases personal interaction and exposure to sexual partners from high-risk group. Although traditional Indian value prohibits premarital or extramarital sexual activities, but this aspect has not been explored in migrant workers.

methodsIt was a qualitative study based on indepth interview of participants. The participants were wives of migrant workers. Indepth interviews were conducted by two female field interviewers recruited for the study. A total of 24 study subjects were recruited for the study. An indepth interview guide was prepared which mainly focused on sexual behavior, including premarital, marital, and extramarital, quality of marital relationship, gender roles, peer networks, substance abuse, work-related activities, etc., The transcripts were analyzed in NVIVO and themes were generated.

resultsThe premarital sex was more common in boys than girls. It is more common in the same age group and has increased in the recent years. Various reasons were cited in relation to premarital sex in rural areas like love affair, delayed marriage, watching bad movies, bad company, allurement for gifts money, etc., Some women had opinion that males belonging to affluent and powerful families had tendency to enjoy sex with other women within and outside village. The major themes which emerged from the study were the sexual activity, type of sexual partners, reasons for multiple sexual partner, and risky and nonrisky sexual activity.

conclusionThe findings of the study provided insights to design and conduct a larger and more representative quantitative study among the wives of migrant workers to understand the dynamic combination of biomedical, behavioral, and sociocultural factors that may influence transmission of infection within marriage.
