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

Introduction: Scarcely available European studies suggest that migrant female sex workers (FSW) have a higher likelihood of sexually transmitted infections (STI) but a lower likelihood of HIV compared to non-migrant FSW. This study assessed demographics, STI/HIV burden, and engagement in sexual healthcare among first-generation (FGM) and second-generation (SGM) migrant FSW versus Western-born FSW. Methods: This large retrospective cohort study included 27,532 Dutch STI clinic consultations from 11,363 individual FSW between 2016 and 2021. STI diagnoses (chlamydia/gonorrhoea/ infectious syphilis/infectious hepatitis B/HIV) in the first consultation were compared using Chi-squared test. Logistic regression adjusting for age, urbanity and sexual behaviour assessed associations between migration status and STI diagnoses. Incidence of repeat consultation was compared between migration groups using Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusting for age and STI clinic urbanity. Results: FGM FSW ( Conclusion: Migrant FSW versus Western-born FSW demonstrated a varying burden of STI, FGM heightened proportions and odds of infectious syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV and lower likelihood of repeat consultations. Enhancing accessibility and outreach efforts for migrant FSW in sexual healthcare services is imperative.
