Trends in sexually transmitted infections at a tertiary care center (2022-2024): A cross-sectional study.
Article in Indian journal of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) remain a significant public health concern, with increasing trends observed globally. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and trends of STIs at a tertiary care center in east India over a two-year period. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in east India from 2022 to 2024. A total of 11,803 patients were included. Results: The male-to-female ratio was 1.13:1. The majority of cases were in the age group of 18-30 years (60.8%), and high-risk behaviors, including multiple sexual partners and substance abuse, were prevalent. The findings indicate a rising trend in genital ulcer disease due to herpes, secondary syphilis, and HIV-positive cases. Men who have sex with men with anal warts and individuals with a history of multiple exposures also showed increasing numbers. Conclusion: The results highlight the urgent need for enhanced STI surveillance, awareness programs, and targeted interventions to curb infection rates. Strengthening routine screening, expanding access to treatment, and implementing strategic public health initiatives are critical in addressing the rising burden of STIs.
