Management of asymptomatic sexually transmitted infections in Europe: towards a differentiated, evidence-based approach.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Europe, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 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
Most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be accurately diagnosed and treated during asymptomatic carriage. Widespread screening for these STIs is therefore assumed to be an effective way to reduce their prevalence and associated disease. In this review, we provide evidence that this is the case for HIV and syphilis. However, for other STIs such as
