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 and Objectives: Anorectal and pharyngeal infections with Materials and Methods: A total of 127 MSM patients attending the STI clinic Dermatology Outpatient Department of AIIMS were included in the study. A duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting Results: A total of 26 patients were found to be positive for NG by PCR with a prevalence rate of 20%. The prevalence rate for urethral, rectal, and pharyngeal gonorrhea was 8.7%, 9.4%, and 4.7% respectively. Out of the 26 positives, 15 patients, i.e., 57.7%, had only extragenital infections and none were positive at all three sites. On the other hand, only three patients were culture positive at the urethral site. Discussion: We would have missed approximately 60% of the infections if the testing was restricted to genital sites only. Conclusion: An expanded testing including extragenital sites for screening of gonococcal infection in MSM will have clinical and public health benefits.
