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
Context: Very few studies have compared the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and risk factors particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM) with the non-MSM group. Aims: (1) To compare the profile of STIs among MSM and non-MSM attending our STI clinic, (2) To identify the risk factors for STIs among MSM. Subjects and Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study, we analyzed the records of all male attendees of our STI clinic from March 2015 to March 2020 for demographic details, sexual history, clinical examination and laboratory findings. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test and logistic regression were utilized in analysis. Results: The number of both MSM and non-MSM attending the clinic increased over 5 years with a more sharp increase in the number of MSM, after 2017. 68.9% of MSM had their first sexual contact before attaining 20 years of age. The most common STIs were syphilis (53.75%), genital warts (30%) and herpes genitalis (20.62%). Syphilis was the most frequent STI among MSM (48/74, 64.90%) as well as non-MSM (38/86, 44.20%); though its frequency was significantly more among MSM ( Conclusions: There was an increasing trend of MSM attending the STI clinic from the year 2017. MSM persons are likely to be younger, unmarried, and have more than two sex partners. The commonest STI among MSM was syphilis.
