Self-reported sexually transmitted infections among women in Indonesia: analysis of 2017 Indonesia demographic and health survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundSexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increasing around the world. An estimated over one million people are infected with STIs every day. The prevalence of STIs in Indonesia is largely unknown today. The related factors of self-reported STIs are still unclear and need further assessment. This research aimed to identify the factors associated with self-reported STIs in Indonesia.
methodsA cross-sectional study design. The data was obtained from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), especially the DHS of Indonesia in 2017. The participants were 37,109 sexually active women in Indonesia. The outcome variable was self-reported STIs. Respondents were adults aged 15-49 years old, and the data were analyzed using percentages, chi-squared, and logistic regression. An adjusted OR with a 95% confidence interval was used to identify the strength of association. All tests had alpha levels of 0.05.
resultsSelf-reported STIs were high among women in Indonesia, with an overall prevalence of 14.32% across all regions. Notably, North Maluku, North Sumatera, Riau, North Kalimantan, and East Nusa Tenggara reported over 20%. Factors associated with higher odds of self-reported STIs included younger age, employment, younger age at sexual activity, and ever heard about STI/HIV, and had lower economic status.
conclusionsThis study's findings highlight demographic, behavioral, and economic factors differences among Indonesian women in regarding the burden of STI, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention and education strategies in high-prevalence regions.
