Isolation of Mycoplasma genitalium from endocervical swabs of infertile women.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesTo determine the occurrence of Mycoplasma genitalium (M. genitalium) infection in infertile women attending infertility clinic and its association to infertility. Methods: Endocervical specimens were collected from women presenting with primary and secondary infertility and from fertile women as control group. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was performed to detect the presence of M. genitalium from these endocervical specimens. Results: Mycoplasma genitalium was detected in 3% of infertile women. There was no statistically significant difference between infertility and control group as to signs and symptoms except for signs of cervicitis were presented only among infertile group. We found no significant differences among fertile and infertile women for M. genitalium infection. Conclusion: An association between M. genitalium infection and infertility may exist. Screening of women for M. genitalium infection is recommended as part of investigations for infertility.
