Disparities in Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing and the Need to Strengthen Comprehensive Sexual Health Services for Trans Women.

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
Purpose: Few studies have examined the importance of improving the sexual health delivery system beyond HIV among trans women. We assessed survey data from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Transgender Woman (NHBS-Trans) Study in San Francisco to characterize the utilization of sexual health services among HIV-negative trans women and to explore opportunities to improve sexual health services for trans women. Methods: Trans women were recruited through respondent-driven sampling from July 2019 to February 2020. The analytic sample was restricted to 116 HIV-negative trans women. We identified trends in data using chi-squared tests to assess significance between sexual risk behavior and the use of preventative sexual health services and built logistic regression models to assess the relationships between sexual risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. Results: The majority of sample was trans women of color with most identifying as Latinx (42.2%). Over half were low income (56%), and majority had been homeless in past 12 months (62.9%). The prevalence of condomless receptive anal sex was 52.6% with about two-thirds (62.1%) recently having an STI test. Participants who engaged in recent condomless receptive anal sex had more than fivefold greater odds of having a recent STI test compared to their counterparts who did not (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.83-17.11; Conclusion: This study characterized the utilization of sexual health services among HIV-negative trans women and identified important disparities in STI testing. We discuss opportunities to strengthen sexual health care delivery systems.
