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
Introduction: Gonorrhea caused by Methods: This was a single center and retrospective study conducted over 6 years from March 2018 to March 2024. The case records of 69 patients of gonorrhea (Group A [precoronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19); Results: The average age of patients in Group A and B was comparable (31.1 and 31.3 respectively). Males outnumbered the females, but remarkably 36.2% female patients had gonorrhea. The frequency of sexual encounter per month was significantly higher in Group B (mean 3.76) as compared to Group A (1.36; Discussion: In this study, we found a higher number of gonorrhea patients (58) during the post-COVID-19 era. This may be attributable to higher number of partners, contact with commercial sex workers and increased frequency of sexual contact per month. Extragenital gonorrhea was also found in MSM patients. Decriminalization of homosexuality and easy access to digital media makes it easy to find partners online, but this has a hazardous impact due to casual sexual encounters, risky sexual behavior, condomless sex, increased number of sexual partner, and importantly difficulty in partner tracing. Conclusion: Our study indicates, resurgence of gonorrhea in post-COVID-19 period and emergence of cases with lack of adequate treatment response, thereby, emphasizing the need for increased surveillance.
