Impact of Result Displays in an Anogenital Symptom Checker App on Health-seeking Behaviours: A Cross-sectional, Vignette-based Study.

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.
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: The Melbourne Sexual Health Centre developed an artificial intelligence-powered app called AiSTI to help the public identify potential sexually transmitted infection (STI)-related anogenital lesions. This research sought to explore how individuals respond to the application's result displays and recommendations and how this might affect their health-seeking behavior. Methods: From April to July 2024, participants completed an anonymous online survey, responding to hypothetical scenarios related to STI and non-STI conditions before and after viewing the randomized AiSTI application's result displays. They were asked how soon they would seek healthcare and how concerned they would be about each scenario. We reported descriptive statistics and used logistic regression analyses to explore associations between result displays and health-seeking behaviors. Results: Our study included 512 participants (median age, 32 years; interquartile range: 25-40.5). Approximately 65% (n = 330) were assigned male at birth. For the STI scenario, intention to seek care within 24 hours increased from 75% to >90% after viewing probable STI diagnosis displays ( Conclusions: Our study found that digital health interventions with effective result displays could encourage urgent care-seeking for STI cases.
