Variability of the Chlamydia trachomatis omp1 gene detected in samples from men tested in male-only saunas in Melbourne, Australia.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A recent screening program in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, has shown that Chlamydia trachomatis is an important infection among men who frequent male-only saunas. To evaluate the C. trachomatis isolates circulating in local saunas, the C. trachomatis-positive samples collected during the program underwent amplification and sequencing of the omp1 gene, and the corresponding serovars were deduced. Forty-seven C. trachomatis-positive samples collected (from October 2001 to September 2002) from 39 men were evaluated. The deduced serovars found, in descending order of prevalence, were D, G, and J; and serovars B, E, F, and H were each found in single samples. The seven different serovars identified in the study sample indicate that local saunas are a reservoir of multiple C. trachomatis strains, possibly maintained by the introduction of new patrons or regular patrons who have been exposed to C. trachomatis elsewhere. No significant genetic variants were found, as most variable positions were silent and were detected only in single samples.
