Frequency of Coinfection on the Vaginal Wet Preparation in the Emergency Department.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction Vaginal infections are common in the emergency department (ED) but the frequency of vaginal coinfections identified on wet preparation is unknown. Methods The study examined a data set of 75,000 ED patient encounters between April 18, 2014, and March 7, 2017, who had received testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomonas or had received a urinalysis and urine culture during the ED encounter. From this data set we reviewed 16,484 patient encounters where a vaginal wet preparation was performed on women age 18 years and older. Findings from the vaginal wet preparation and ED discharge diagnoses were examined to evaluate the frequency of vaginal coinfections with vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis. Results Among the women who had wet preparations, 4,124 patient encounters (25.0%) had a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, 625 (3.8%) had a diagnosis of vulvovaginal candidiasis, and 1,802 (10.9%) were infected with
