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

Introduction: Objectives: To assess the burden of Methods: A health institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2023 to December 2024 in Addis Ababa City. A convenient sampling method was used to collect endocervical and urethral sample swabs from 571 study subjects. Samples were cultured onto Thayer Martin Luther agar, and gram staining and biochemical tests were used to confirm the presence of gonococci. A pre-tested and well-structured questionnaire was used to assess risk factors, and data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. Descriptive and logistic analyses were computed. Results: Of the total study subjects, 62.2% were females, and 61.6% were urban residents. Moreover, 183 (32.0%) were in the age of >35 years, followed by 170 (29.8%) in the 30-34 years old. The prevalence of Conclusion: The prevalence of
