Sexual health care barriers and HIV/STI prevention for transgender people in Japan.
Article in Global health & medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Primary care and sexual health services for transgender people in Japan are lacking. We surveyed 233 transgender patients (57 [24.5%] assigned male at birth [AMABs] and 176 [75.5%] assigned female at birth [AFABs]) at the Personal Health Clinic to collect data on sexually transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk, as well as lifestyle, stigma, and health literacy. Among respondents, 55% reported a sexual intercourse history, and 7.6% noted a previous STI. Only 62.2% underwent free STI testing. Current smoking rates were 19.3% higher in AFABs. Hospital visit hesitation was reported by 59.6%, and 83.3% experienced daily mental struggles. Awareness of post-exposure prophylaxis and pre-exposure prophylaxis was low. Our findings highlight the urgent need for improved primary care and sexual health services for transgender people in Japan, emphasizing the necessity to increase sexual health care facilities, reduce primary care access barriers, and improve knowledge among health care providers.
