The Use of Urine and Self-obtained Vaginal Swabs for the Diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Studies have reported that self-collected specimens, such as urine or vaginal swabs, can be successfully used to diagnose sexually transmitted infections when they are used with nucleic acid amplification assays. This eliminates the necessity for a clinician-performed pelvic examination for women, or a urethral swab for men, for sample collection. These nucleic acid amplification assays used with self-collected specimens are highly sensitive and specific, and their use may be extended to broad nonclinic screening venues, where their use can augment public health programs designed to control the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases.
