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

backgroundMonitoring and responding to the sexual health needs of migrants is crucial, given their vulnerability during migration. Therefore, this study aimed to develop socio-epidemiological indicators related to sexual health and communicable diseases among the migrant population in Chile, including dimensions of the contexts of vulnerability and migratory trajectories.

methodWe used a mixed methodology within the framework of implementation research and community-based research based on qualitative data, secondary sources, and expert judgment to construct socio-epidemiological indicators related to sexual health among the migrant population in Chile, including vulnerability and migration trajectories. Preliminary indicators were defined. First, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with individuals of migrant origin and focus groups with members of community-based organizations, primary healthcare providers, and experts. These instruments were then complemented with indicators from secondary sources. The set of indicators was subjected to content validation and ranking through Delphi Groups and expert judgment, ending with validation through a field pilot test.

resultsThe result was a definitive instrument that included 94 indicators, distributed into 73 questions that correspond to the following dimensions: sociodemographic background, migratory history, and contexts of vulnerability, violence, connection with the Chilean health system, sexual practices, sex work, sexual health (including HIV and STIs) and access to sexual health services, and sexual health needs.

conclusionParticipation of the target population and key actors allowed for consensus on a highly sensitive data collection instrument since its indicators account for the contexts of vulnerability and key structural aspects to address sexual health among migrants from an intersectional perspective.
