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: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a global public health concern, particularly among vulnerable populations. In Brazil, women from quilombola, Roma, and rural communities face increased risks due to socioeconomic and cultural conditions that exacerbate susceptibility to these infections. Furthermore, they are frequently underrepresented in scientific studies, leading to a limited understanding of the epidemiological characteristics of STIs within these groups. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of STIs among women in vulnerable situations in a neotropical region of Brazil and to analyze the association between the pathogen presence, symptoms, behavioral risk factors, and socioeconomic aspects. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in eastern Maranhão, in the municipality of Caxias, involving 295 quilombola, Roma, and rural women. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire addressing sociodemographic and behavioral factors, along with cervical liquid-based cytology samples. The samples were tested using real-time PCR with the Seegene Allplex STI Essential Assay kit. Statistical analysis employed both descriptive and inferential methods, including chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, as well as unconditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: The overall prevalence of STIs was 72.9% (95% CI: 66.8-77.3), with Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of STIs among quilombola, rural, and Roma women. The findings highlight the complexity of sexual and reproductive health in these communities and underscore the need for tailored, culturally sensitive approaches in public health policies.
