Efforts to control sexually transmitted infections as a means to limit HIV transmission: what is the evidence?
Review in Current HIV/AIDS reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is overwhelming and compelling evidence that control efforts for STI have a major role to play in the prevention of HIV transmission. Community-based randomized controlled trials are set as the highest standard of evidence for showing the efficacy of STI interventions to prevent HIV transmission. The negative results of recent randomized controlled trials have cast doubt on the positive findings of the Mwanza study. Deeper analysis of the result of these trials has improved understanding of the role of STI interventions and augmented the wealth of evidence provided by numerous epidemiological and biomedical studies. Apart from the biological impact of effective treatment of curable STIs on HIV transmission, clinical services also support the reduction of HIV-risk behaviors. STI interventions should limit the scale of the impending epidemics in Asia and Eastern Europe, depending on the priority that they are given by governments and major donor agencies.
