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
Objective: To explore the specific impact of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on infertility including differences in disease burden among different regions and populations and temporal trends. Methods: Data on STI-attributable infertility were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2021. The study focused on two types of infertility (primary and secondary) and three STIs (chlamydia, gonococcal, and other STIs). The disease burden was measured using the age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) and the age-standardized years lived with disability (YLD) rate (ASYR). The estimated annual percent change (EAPC) was calculated to determine temporal variations. Temporal trends were modeled using joinpoint analysis and the age-period-cohort-Web tool. Finally, future trends were predicted using the Bayesian age-period-cohort model. Results: In 2021, there were 18,413,845 (95% uncertainty interval ( Conclusion: Infertility attributable to STIs remains a critical public health challenge, with a projected increasing trend through 2050. Global efforts to reduce the burden of infertility should focus on improving STI prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies, especially in regions with low and middle SDI levels.
