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

The rising rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Mycoplasma genitalium globally and the association of this sexually transmitted infection (STI) with cervicitis, urethritis, and HIV are potentially of great public health concern. Data on the epidemiology of M. genitalium in men in sub-Saharan Africa are limited. We sought to determine the prevalence of M. genitalium and macrolide resistance in men with urethritis in Kampala, Uganda. Self-collected penile-meatal swabs and/or urine samples from men with symptomatic urethritis (
