Innovations in sexually transmitted disease partner services.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Recent increases in reported cases of several sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) speak to the urgent need for innovative methods of control and prevention, including improved partner notification. We review interviewing techniques and targeted geographic implementation, enhanced counseling for patient referral, and social network innovations. We also discuss expedited partner therapy: the provision of medications or prescriptions for sex partners who can then be treated prior to a clinical examination. Though the legality of this practice varies from state to state, a growing number of studies have shown its effectiveness, and local jurisdictions are encouraged to consider its feasibility. Another innovative method is use of the Internet to locate sex partners, reflecting trends in how people meet sex partners, and use of the same "venue" for treatment and prevention. We conclude with discussion of newly released recommendations for integrated HIV and STD partner services.
