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

backgroundThe incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remains high among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH). This study determined the prevalence of asymptomatic STIs in MSM PWH attending an HIV clinic in Mexico City.

methodsThis cross-sectional study (May 2022-November 2023) included self-questionnaires on STI-related behaviors and symptoms, urethral samples for multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and serological tests for syphilis, HBV, and HCV.

resultsAmong 261 patients, 56.7% were receiving antiretroviral therapy, 41.8% had suppressed HIV-1 viral load, and 26.1% tested positive for at least one STI in urethral PCR. The most prevalent microorganisms were

conclusionsThis study underscores the high frequency of asymptomatic STIs and the importance of regular screening.
