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

Objectives: Rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Methods: Urethral discharge samples, from males with urethral discharge and/or dysuria, were Gram-stained and cultured. ETEST was performed to determine AMR. EGASP MIC alert values, CLSI and EUCAST breakpoints were used. Results: In 2015-21, gonococcal isolates were cultured from 1928 cases; most (64.1%) were males reporting having sex with females. The sensitivity and specificity of Gram-stained microscopy compared with culture for detection of gonococci were 97.5% and 96.6%, respectively. From 2015 to 2021, the azithromycin MIC Conclusions: A continuous high susceptibility to ceftriaxone, Thailand's first-line gonorrhoea treatment, was found. However, the increasing MICs of ceftriaxone, cefixime and azithromycin are a substantial threat, especially considering these are the last remaining options for the treatment of gonorrhoea. To monitor AMR, continuous and quality-assured gonococcal AMR surveillance such as the Thai WHO/CDC EGASP, ideally including WGS, is imperative globally.
