1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the anorectal region are disproportionally detected in risk populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). However, due to changes in sexual behaviour they are increasingly diagnosed in heterosexual individuals. Due to the recent implementation of oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis together with lack of condom use, a further rise in STIs is expected.

objectivesThis review addresses epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnostic pitfalls and current therapy guidelines of "classical" bacterial STIs involving the anorectum.

conclusionsSTI manifestations in the anal region are frequently nonspecific or asymptomatic so that the diagnosis may be missed. In an endoscopic examination of the rectum, they can even mimic inflammatory bowel disease or malignancy. Therefore, knowledge of possible symptoms of bacterial STIs in this area is helpful for early diagnosis. Coinfections with other STIs are common and should prompt a search of other pathogens including HIV and hepatitis B/C.
