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
Background: Globally, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to be a major public health problem. STIs are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries due to their effects on reproductive and child health and their role in spreading HIV infection. This study ' to determine the factors associated with STIs among women in Ivory Coast using data from the 2021 Ivory Coast Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Methods: A total of 14,877 women from the 2021 Ivory Coast Demographic and Health Survey participated in this study. The Ivory Coast DHS employed a community-based cross-sectional study design for data collection. STATA version 14 was used for data extraction, recoding, descriptive analysis, and analytical analysis. Bivariable analysis was performed to identify factors for multivariable analysis. In the multivariable analysis, factors with a significance level of Result: This study includes a total weighted sample of 14,877 women from the 2021 Ivory Coast Demographic and Health Survey. The prevalence of STIs among reproductive-age women in the last 12 months was 6.82%, with a 95% CI (6.42, 7.23). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that among women, STIs were statistically and significantly associated with age range of 20-24 years [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.558, 95% CI: (1.108, 2.359); Conclusion and recommendations: This study found that nearly seven out of a hundred reproductive-age women in Ivory Coast had sexually transmitted infections, influenced by factors such as age group, region, religion, marital status, media exposure (reading magazines, watching television, and using the internet), history of a terminated pregnancy, and contraceptive utilization. Therefore, healthcare providers and policymakers should focus on these specific predictors to reduce STIs among reproductive-age women.
