Racial and Ethnic Differences in Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Testing Locations Among Medicaid-Insured Youth.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2024. 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
purposeChlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhea (GC) infections are common among 15- to 24-year-olds, with Black and Hispanic youth disproportionately affected. Understanding where youth receive CT/GC testing is necessary to address disparities in CT/GC care. Our objective was to identify if differences exist in CT/GC testing locations by race and ethnicity.
methodsWe used 2019 MarketScan Medicaid data to examine CT/GC testing location by youth race and ethnicity.
resultsThere were 418,623 CT/GC tests during the study period. Tests were most frequently ordered at medical offices for all races and ethnicities, although less frequently for Black (37.6%) and Hispanic (37.3%) than for White youth (49.3%). Black youth were frequently tested in emergency departments (19.6%), while Hispanic youth were frequently tested in Federally Qualified Health Centers (19.0%). DISCUSSION: We found significant racial and ethnic disparities in the location of CT/GC testing among Medicaid-insured-youth; these findings should be used to guide strategies that address inequities in CT/GC care.
