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

background and purposeVulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most common infections in female genital organs, which is caused by MATERIALS AND

methodsGas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed on vitex to identify its possible bioactive components. Forty

resultsThe major chemical components of vitex leaf as determined by gas chromatography included α-Pinene, isoterpinolene, caryophyllene, and azulene. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of vitex, as well as fluconazole were within the ranges of 15.62-62.5, 7.81-15.62, and 0.25-8 μg/mL, respectively.

conclusionOur findings showed that the alcoholic and aqueous extracts of vitex had antifungal activity against clinical isolates of
