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

BackgroundCurable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) contribute to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Syndromic management is standard care in South Africa. We evaluated prevalence, symptomology, and correlates of curable STIs, among pregnant women in Eastern Cape, South Africa.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of pregnant women attending their first antenatal care visit at public clinics in Buffalo City Municipality (2021-2024). Participants were tested for
