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

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae with an increasing incidence and a widespread antimicrobial resistance. The aim was to investigate the case burden, distribution of infection site, management and antibiotic resistance in N. gonorrhoeae cases in 6 university hospitals in Sweden. Diagnosis of N. gonorrhoeae was made by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). Included were 1,060 cases with 27.3% women, 72.4% men and 4 transgender persons, constituting around one third of all 3,356 N. gonorrhoeae cases in Sweden 2022. The NAAT test for N. gonorrhoeae from urine was positive in 51.7% (428/828), 40.4% (428/1,060) among the total included population, from vagina/cervix in 87.9% (246/280), 23.2% (246/1,060) in the total population and from rectum in 66.1% (353/534), 33.3% (353/1,060) among all included cases, with 78.9% (277/351) positive rectal samples in men and 21.1% (74/351) in women (p<0.001), the majority being among men having sex with men (76.5%). Antimicrobial resistance was most common against ciprofloxacin, seen in 43.7% (463/1,060) and second most common against azithromycin, in 9.4% (150/1,060). The study elucidates the complexity of handling gonococcal infections regarding relevant test methods, infections in several locations and the problem with antibiotic resistance.
