The Associations of Genital Mycoplasmas with Female Infertility and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

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
The roles of genital mycoplasmas including Mycoplasma genitalium (M. genitalium), Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis), Ureaplasma urealyticum (U. urealyticum), and Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) in reproductive diseases are equivocal. To investigate whether genital mycoplasmas are risk factors of female infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. Electronic databases were searched for related studies. A random-effects model or fixed-effects model was employed to generate forest plots. Pooled odd ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to measure the strength of associations. Meanwhile, heterogeneity was evaluated by H statistic and I
