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

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a global public health issue, due to their high prevalence and potential impact on pregnancy outcome and fetal health. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of STI-causative pathogens including Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 15,055 participants of childbearing age including 7,235 males and 7,820 females. All specimens of participants were tested for CT, NG, and UU by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) methods. Results: 27.80% of the participants were infected with at least one of the three pathogens, with significantly higher overall prevalence in females (45.22%) than males (8.98%, Conclusions: Among the population of childbearing age in Chengdu, China, the prevalence among females was significantly higher than that among males. Single infections predominated in both males and females, while mixed infections occurred more frequently in females. STIs were more prevalent in sexually active young people aged 18-35, especially in the 18-24 age group. CT and NG infections in both males and females may cause urogenital inflammation, and mixed infections of CT+NG further elevate the risk of inflammatory responses.
