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

The way in which a balanced vaginal microbiome helps prevent gynecological diseases in women and maintain health remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the potential effect of aberrations in the vaginal flora on unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM) was investigated. The vaginal bacterial communities of 10 patients with unexplained RM and 10 healthy volunteers were sampled and subjected to sequencing analysis of the V3-V4 regions of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Beta diversity analysis/principal component analysis indicated that bacterial community structures were different between the RM and control groups. A lower microbiota diversity in samples from RM patients was revealed by alpha diversity estimation. Taxonomic analysis demonstrated that abundance of three types of phyla (
