Knowledge of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Syphilis Among Education Faculty Students: A Text Mining Analysis.

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
objectiveThe proper management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and syphilis, has become a public health challenge in Japan and worldwide. We herein examined knowledge of AIDS and syphilis among educational faculty students closely involved in future sex education using a text mining analysis.
methodsA total of 126 (74 males and 52 females, 19.1 ± 0.1 years) of 176 eligible first- and second-year educational faculty students at a university in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, were enrolled. We conducted open-ended surveys asking participants to describe what they knew about AIDS and syphilis in written responses. We also investigated participants' knowledge of the number of AIDS and syphilis patients in Japan, their sexual intercourse experience, use of contraceptives for infection prevention, and fears toward AIDS and syphilis.
resultsFifty males (67.6%) and 28 females (53.9%) had sexual intercourse experience. Among these, 76% of males and 69% of females consistently used contraceptives. Sixty-four males (86.5%) and 48 females (92.3%) were afraid of AIDS and syphilis. The text mining analysis showed that the total number of words was 466 for AIDS and 325 for syphilis, indicating fewer words for the latter. An analysis using co-occurrence networks also showed fewer word types and clusters for syphilis than for AIDS.
conclusionKnowledge of AIDS and syphilis, particularly syphilis, appears to be limited among first- and second-year educational faculty students. Due to their future involvement in sex education, the implementation of appropriate and fundamental education regarding STIs is necessary.
