Barriers and Factors Associated With Disclosure of
Article in Health science reports, 2026. 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: Objective: This study assessed the proportion of participants willing to disclose a positive Methods: This community-based, mixed-methods cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2024 among 253 participants aged ≥ 15 years recruited through convenience sampling. Structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews captured sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behaviours, and perceived disclosure barriers. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. Analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0, with statistical significance set at Results: The participants' mean age was 24.2 years (SD = 4.85); most were female (64.0%) and single (89.3%). Overall, 68 participants (26.9%) indicated that they would not disclose a positive Chlamydia result, corresponding to approximately one in four participants. Major barriers included anxiety (13.1%), lack of communication (6.1%), fear of stigma, and anticipated negative partner reactions. Participants who anticipated a violent partner reaction were significantly less likely to disclose (AOR = 0.259, 95% CI: 0.109-0.615, Conclusion: Intended disclosure of
