[Sexual health and medicine at the WIR-Walk In Ruhr: presentation of the center and results of the evaluation].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHolistic sexual healthcare factors in diversity of social habitat and aims to improvise client outreach for prevention, testing, counseling, and treatment of STIs. Towards this goal, the immunology outpatient clinic, the public health department of Bochum, the AIDS Service Organization Bochum e. v., and other community-driven NGOs mutually cooperate under the umbrella of WIR - Walk In Ruhr, Centre for Sexual Health and Medicine.
objectivesWIR is an innovative concept for multi-professional in-house ambulatory healthcare with cross-sectoral and cross-legal reach. It has successfully improved accessibility, testing and treatment rates, and HIV/STI self-assessment. We present the results achieved at WIR.
methodsA mixed-method design of qualitative and quantitative surveys.
resultsThe WIR reaches more women (27.7%) and heterosexuals (56.4%) than other counseling/test centers. The rate of positive test results at the WIR increased from 9.3% in 2017 to 12.6% in 2018 and progress from prevention to medical care is a significant aspect of WIR. The Federal Ministry of Health has externally evaluated WIR for over three years. DISCUSSION: The integrative care model of WIR allows for early outreach and treatment of individuals with HIV/ST infections. Health advisors remain an important instrument facilitating outreach and psychosocial/psychotherapeutic counseling is administered frequently. Such a multi-layered approach in prevention, testing, and consultation, leads to improvement in both medical outcomes and the self-responsible attitude of patients towards their sexual health. Hence, expansion of integrative care models like WIR on a wider scale could arguably contribute to better health service and sexual health.
