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

Purpose: The United States criminal legal system has a long-standing and well-documented history of perpetuating racial disparities in health and well-being through inequitable policing, sentencing, and incarceration practices. In the last decade, the criminal legal system has re-considered their response to women arrested for solicitation via sex trafficking specialty courts. Methods: The current study leverages publicly available data from one large Midwestern county to explore the presence of racial disparities within women's referral to, election to participate in, and success within one specialty court program for women in the sex trade. Results: Between 1990 and 2022, approximately 27,790 women were arrested or cited for solicitation (about 2.5 per day). Among them, 67.0% were White, 31.4% were Black, 0.9% reported another racial identity; and 0.7% had racial identity missing from their record; which aligns with county demographics. Rates of referral to sex trafficking specialty court programs were similar for White and Black women arrested for solicitation (11.6% vs 13.1%, Conclusions: Much greater attention is needed to establish equitable practices and access within this unique branch of specialty court programming. Specifically, these programs should seek to cultivate better reputations as trusted providers among Black women in the sex trade.
