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

backgroundSexual health is an important aspect of human well-being. In terms of sexual health and healthcare, sex workers might need more specialized care than others, given their higher risk for both discrimination and various sexually transmitted diseases. However, little is known about the quality of healthcare professionals' training regarding sexual health and healthcare of sex workers in Germany.

methodsIn an online survey, 130 physicians, 63 psychotherapists, and 154 medical students reported their perceived quality of training regarding sexual health problems in all their patients and regarding sex workers' health issues specifically.

resultsA substantial share of respondents reported to have experienced inadequate training regarding both sexual health problems in general and specific issues concerning sex workers. However, most respondents reported feeling rather comfortable when dealing with these topics. There was a positive correlation between feeling comfortable when treating sexual health problems/ sex workers and the perceived training on these topics.

conclusionsThe results of this study indicate that sexual health issues and sex workers' specific healthcare requirements are not sufficiently addressed in the curricula of German healthcare professionals. Future adaptations of these curricula might be necessary.
