Chlamydia trachomatis infections in Kenya - sexually transmitted and ocular infections: a scoping review.
Article in Therapeutic advances in reproductive health. 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
Background: Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of both sexually transmitted and ocular CT across various regions and populations within Kenya. Eligibility criteria: Articles on CT population testing and laboratory detection, from 2014 to date, in English or Swahili only. Sources of evidence: Electronic databases of PubMed and Google Scholar were used. Design: A scoping review. Charting methods: This study conducted a systematic scoping review, following Arksey and O'Malley's framework and adhering to PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Results: This study incorporates findings from 19 original studies on sexually transmitted CT and seven on ocular CT. CT prevalence for four identified populations: sexually active females 2%-13%, men who have sex with men 1.3%-51%, pregnant women 2.5%-14.9% and other population groups 2.8%-16.4%. By contrast, studies on ocular CT, all performed in rural settings, found prevalence surpassing the WHO's 10% threshold primarily amongst children and mothers. Conclusion: The variability in CT prevalence across different demographics and geographical regions emphasizes the impact of socio-economic, environmental and diagnostic factors on disease transmission and detection. The insights gained here can serve as a foundation for evidence-based health policies and interventions aimed at mitigating the burden of CT in Kenya.
