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
Antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses a serious public health threat. In Australia, N. gonorrhoeae isolates with ceftriaxone MICs >0.125 mg/L or azithromycin MICs >256 mg/L required follow-up by public health officials. Odds of culture-positive notifications meeting those criteria increased from 2017-2019 (n = 11) to 2022-2024 (n = 94) (odds ratio 8.58 [95% CI 4.81-17.0]). Local acquisition was frequent (78.7%). Isolates with decreased ceftriaxone susceptibility were more common in female and heterosexual patients than were isolates with high-level azithromycin resistance. We identified 9 genomically linked clusters (<15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms), 3 with sizable clonal expansion. Initial test of cure was negative for 81/94 (86.2%) 2022-2024 cases; of the rest, 9 cases had no follow-up visits, 2 were reinfected, and 2 failed initial treatment. Improving follow-up and reporting of treatment failure would strengthen case management protocols. Culture-based diagnostics remain essential to detect antimicrobial resistance, inform surveillance, and curb the rising resistance trend.
