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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate use of the Internet to solicit sex partners by men who have sex with men (MSM) who were diagnosed with early syphilis infection. STUDY: Field interview records for syphilis patients were reviewed for factors associated with Internet use.
resultsInternet users were more likely to be of white race (prevalence ratio [PR], 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-1.8), to report anal insertive sex (PR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.1-1.2), sex with anonymous partners (PR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.3), intravenous drug use (PR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1-6.7), and nonintravenous drug use (PR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.8). Controlling for race and sexual risk behaviors, white race (odds ratio [OR], 2.8; 95% CI, 1.8-4.6), having anonymous sex partners (OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.6-7.0), and nonintravenous drug use (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1-2.6) were associated with meeting sex partners through the Internet.
conclusionsEffective sexually transmitted disease risk reduction interventions using the Internet are needed to reach Internet-using, sex-seeking MSM populations engaging in high-risk behaviors.
