Sexual health education among undergraduate students of medicine.

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
backgroundSexuality occupies a fundamental position in the lives of individuals and is related to general health. However, undergraduate curricula in medical courses address this topic in an incomplete manner. The aim of this study is to investigate sexual health education among undergraduate medical students.
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with students 18 years of age and older in the fifth and sixth years of the undergraduate course in medicine in 2018. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire addressing the teaching of sexual health in the first four years of the course and how knowledge on this topic affected their relationships with patients.
resultsA total of 125 students answered the questionnaire. Although the majority reported the teaching of sexual medicine during the undergraduate course, the classes were focused on reproduction (70%) and organic diseases (70%). A total of 52% of the respondents reported that the classes did not enhance their knowledge or confidence with regards to discussing the subject with patients. During routine care, the main difficulties the students faced in addressing the sexual health of patients were fear of offending the patient (53.8%) and insufficient knowledge on the subject (33.4%).
conclusionsThe present findings demonstrate that knowledge of students regarding sexual health in undergraduate courses is insufficient, as evidenced by deficiencies in teaching and difficulties in addressing the subject with patients.
