COVID-19, HIV, and Syphilis Contact Tracing: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Headed?
Article in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
abstractContact tracing is a core public health intervention for a range of communicable diseases, in which the primary goal is to interrupt disease transmission and decrease morbidity. In this article, we present lessons learned from COVID-19, HIV, and syphilis in San Francisco to illustrate factors that shape the effectiveness of contact tracing programs and to highlight the value of investing in a robust disease intervention workforce with capacity to pivot rapidly in response to a range of emerging disease trends and outbreak response needs.
