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

PurposeAsian and pacific region countries are considered to be high risk countries for Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV). There is little literature quantifying the relationship between education of HIV/AIDS and its principal socioeconomic determinants through a spatial analysis. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and awareness about HIV among the women in Thailand, and its direct and indirect association with sociodemographic factors including sexual education, level of education, area of living and wealth index through a structural equation modelling approach.DesignCross-sectional analysis using data from the 2022 UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS).SettingThailand.SubjectsA total of 3671 women from the 2022 MICS dataset.MeasuresKey variables included knowledge and misconceptions about HIV, sexual education, education level, area of residence, marital status, and wealth index.AnalysisStructural equation modeling was used to assess direct and indirect effects of sociodemographic factors on HIV-related knowledge and misconceptions.ResultsThe direct effect of sexual education on knowledge, transmission and misconception about HIV/AIDS is significant (β = 0.051,
