Comparison of washing and swabbing procedures for collecting genital fluids to assess shedding of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA in asymptomatic HIV-1-infected women.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA was detected by means of ultrasensitive reverse transcription-PCR assay of 19 cervicovaginal lavage, 21 cervical mucus, 18 vaginal wall, and 17 vaginal fornix paired samples from 25 asymptomatic HIV-1-infected women (76, 84, 72, and 68%, respectively; P > 0.5). Levels of HIV-1 RNA in cervicovaginal wash samples were highly correlated with those in paired endocervical mucus samples (r = 0.71; P = 0.0006), indicating that cervicovaginal washing and endocervical swabbing are equivalent collection procedures.
