1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveA new monthly virtual education curriculum on sexual healthcare was launched in 2021. This is an analysis of the pilot education series designed to increase primary care providers' knowledge of sexual health best practices including taking thorough sexual histories, STI screening and treatment, and PrEP prescribing.

methodsA Sexual Health Curriculum Series was developed as part of a quality improvement initiative at a large urban safety-net hospital in Dallas County, Texas. Didactic sessions were administered to primary care providers and staff via a virtual meeting platform once a month from May 2021 to April 2022.

resultsA total of 52 participants completed the pre-series survey, and 21 participants filled out the final post-series survey. 70% of respondents who completed the post-series survey reported that they learned new information that was incorporated into their practice. The average percentage correct on individual pre-session surveys was 60% compared to 63% on individual post-session surveys (p = 0.03).

conclusionSexual health education is an important tool to help primary care providers adhere to sexual health best practices. There is a need for ongoing implementation of innovative strategies to improve knowledge and adherence to sexual health best practices. A sexual health curriculum may be effective in helping primary providers recognize patients at increased risk and apply evidence-based guidelines to their practices.
