Sexually Transmitted Infection Among Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Nationwide Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and subsequent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the potential effects of medications on STI risk remain unknown. In all, 5076 adolescents and young adults with ASD and 57,060 age-/sex-matched individuals without ASD were enrolled between 2001 and 2009 and followed-up to the end of 2011 for identification of subsequent STIs. The results revealed that patients with ASD were prone to acquiring an STI [hazard ratio (HR) 3.36] compared with the comparison group. Long-term use of atypical antipsychotics was associated with a lower risk of acquiring an STI later in life compared with nonuse (HR 0.34). We recommend that clinicians closely monitor risky sexual behaviors and STI risk in patients with ASD.
