Public Health Strategies to Prevent Genital Herpes: Where Do We Stand?
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
At least 25% of the United States population has overt or subclinical genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, and herpes probably is the sexually transmitted disease of greatest concern to sexually active persons, aside from AIDS. In addition to its direct clinical and psychosexual complications, genital herpes is an important determinant of sexual transmission of HIV. Genital herpes is usually transmitted by persons with subclinical infection, whether entirely asymptomatic or with unrecognized symptoms. Although the composition and efficacy of a national genital herpes prevention program are in debate, clinicians should adopt a public health perspective in managing patients to help prevent transmission. Specific approaches include accurate diagnosis of genital ulcer disease by routine use of virologic tests for HSV; use of type-specific serologic tests to diagnose subclinical HSV infection in patients' sex partners and others at high risk; counseling patients to recognize symptoms and defer sex with uninfected partners when symptomatic; and serologic testing and counseling of pregnant women and their partners to prevent neonatal herpes. Antiviral chemotherapy may be effective in preventing herpes-related cesarean sections, and its efficacy in preventing sexual transmission of HSV is under study.
