Syndemics of Sexually Transmitted Infections in a Sample of Racially Diverse Pregnant Young Women.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionSyndemic theory posits that poor health outcomes co-occur and amplify each other in the context of harmful conditions that must be addressed simultaneously to improve health equity. This analysis identifies perinatal syndemic factors and examine how factors are related to STI in a sample of racially diverse young pregnant women.
methodsPregnant participants (n = 61) ages 14-21 from racially diverse backgrounds were recruited from a prenatal clinic for an ongoing longitudinal study between October 2019-February 2020. Participants completed a tablet survey assessing pregnancy intention, psychosocial factors (e.g., depression, stress, partner violence, pregnancy history) and consented to provide access to their medical records for STI and clinical urine samples screened for tobacco and cannabis use. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to examine probabilities of co-occurring Syndemic indicators.
resultsHalf of the women were Black (52%) and primigravida (54%). Three classes were identified in the LCA, two of them reflecting syndemics related to STI from the medical record. The largest class was half Black (51%), with a high rate of STI (65%), and was characterized by factors including depressive symptoms (93%), stress (64%), and substance use (65% cannabis, 82% tobacco). Additionally, the class with the highest rates of STI (74%) also had higher rates of partner violence (48%), morning sickness (100%), and prenatal cannabis use (63%).
conclusionFindings indicate evidence of a syndemic related to increased STI. A longitudinal evaluation of syndemics in this cohort may inform appropriately tailored intervention strategies to promote perinatal health in racially diverse young pregnant populations.
