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
Background: The National Advisory Committee on Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (NAC-STBBI) undertook a review to adopt, or adapt, the 2021 recommendation for chlamydia and gonorrhea screening issued by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC). Methods: The NAC-STBBI adapted the guideline following the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) handbook. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) and GRADE-ADOLOPMENT methods were also applied to determine the certainty of evidence and strength of the recommendations. The guideline question was "should any screening vs no screening/usual care/any other screening be used for non-pregnant people?". Conflicts of interest were managed according to the Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines. Results: An environmental scan found 17 guidelines published between 2015 and 2023. Five systematic reviews and 32 original articles were identified and included, addressing screening types, patient values, preferences, feasibility, equity and cost and cost-effectiveness of chlamydia and gonorrhea screening. The search was conducted between October 1, 2019, to May 19, 2023. The certainty of evidence was very low. Conclusion: The NAC-STBBI suggests universal annual screening for
