Trichomonas vaginalis: comparison of primers for implementation as an in-house PCR in rural Vellore, South India.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTrichomonas vaginalis (TV) accounts for the highest burden of curable, non-viral sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Prevalence in India ranges from 0.4 to 27.4% in women and 0.0-5.6% in men. In 2015, the prevalence of TV among pregnant women of rural Vellore was 3.11% using Sekisui OSOM MATERIALS &
methodsSix-hundred adult, sexually active women attending the Obstetrics-Gynaecology rural out-patient clinic the Rural Unit for Health and Social Affairs (RUHSA) from July 2020 - February 2021 were enrolled. A vaginal lateral and posterior fornix specimen was inoculated, onsite, into Biomed InPouch
resultsNine specimens (9/600, 1.5%) were positive for TV. There was a 100% correlation between Biomed InPouch TV
conclusionCurrent hospital-based prevalence of TV in rural Vellore was 1.5%. Repetitive DNA target TVK 3/7 was more sensitive than AP65 and BTUB 9/2 primers.
