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
objectivesPrevalences of
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was performed between 2014 and 2022, using STI clinic data. Trends and positivity rates among key populations and anatomical locations were assessed using descriptive analyses. Sociodemographics and sexual behaviour variables were analysed to assess predictors of being TV positive, using multivariable regression analysis.
resultsA total of 37 577 consultations were performed in which patients were tested for TV; 16 075 among women and 21 502 among men. Overall TV positivity was 0.9% (145/16 075) among women and 0.3% (54/21 502) among men, and highest among women with a Netherlands Antillean ethnic background with 5.2% (11/212). TV positivity was lowest at the pharyngeal anatomical site (0.1%), followed by anorectal site (0.2%) and the urogenital anatomical site (0.5%).The following predictors of being TV positive were tested significant for men: being older (≥40 years, OR=5.1), having a Surinamese (OR=6.8) or Netherlands Antillean (OR=7.4) ethnic background and being gonorrhoea positive (OR=2.1). For women, the following predictors tested significant: being older (≥40 years, OR=3.3), having an Eastern European (OR=3.1), Western European (OR=2.2), Netherlands Antillean (OR=7.8) or Mid and South African (OR=4.0) ethnic background, having STI symptoms (OR=2.6) and being gonorrhoea positive (OR=2.6).
conclusionsBased on our results of 9 years of screening in an STI clinic setting, routine universal testing for TV is unnecessary. Testing patients, particularly women, is only required in symptomatic cases and might be considered in cases with an Eastern European, Netherlands Antillean or Mid and South African ethnic background.
