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

Although trichomonal vaginitis and cervicitis are responsible for most presentations of a frankly purulent vaginal discharge, nontrichomonal vaginitis and purulent exudate are being seen in an increasing number of cases. Purulent vaginitis remains poorly defined and largely ignored, with little increase in the amount of knowledge we have of this not infrequent entity. Accordingly, a variety of empirical therapies, often including multiple simultaneous measures, are prescribed. Considerable numbers of causes are now identified, and this review describes a step-by-step approach to diagnosis and management.
