1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Research on the impacts of CSA on survivors' sexual outcomes as adults has found an increase in sexual risk behaviors, including earlier sexual debut, greater involvement in transactional sex, and having sex under the influence of alcohol/drugs, among others. However, the impact of CSA on adult sexual risk behaviors in two-spirit, trans, and non-binary (2STNB) individuals has not been investigated. Objective: The goal of this investigation was to determine the impact of CSA on sexual risk as measured through a composite instrument in a sample of Canadian 2STNB adults and to identify contributors to this relationship. Participants and setting: A sample of 309 Canadian 2STNB individuals was recruited through the assistance of community organizations; 125 identified having experienced CSA. Methods: Participants completed an online survey including measures of adverse childhood experiences, sexual self-esteem (SSE), condom self-efficacy (CSE), symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), experiences of interpersonal violence (IPV), and sexual risk behavior, as well as demographic questions. Results: Path analysis demonstrated significant indirect effects from CSA to risk behavior through IPV and PTSD (β=.03, Conclusions: Experiences of CSA were associated with greater risk behavior in survivors through their experiences of IPV and PTSD symptoms. Focused attention on these mediators through education and therapy could help decrease risk behavior in survivors.
