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

Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal condition caused by the overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, owing to a shift in the vaginal microbial ecosystem. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the ano-vaginal distance and the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis. In this cross-sectional study, the ano-vaginal distance was measured in 100 women participants complaining of vaginal discharge, divided into two groups. Group (1) consisted of 74 women who were negative for bacterial vaginosis, and group (2) consisted of 26 women who had bacterial vaginosis based on Amsel criteria. The negative cases for bacterial vaginosis had significantly longer ano-vaginal distance as compared with those who had bacterial vaginosis (3.85 ± 0.54 versus 3.38 ± 1.02). A positive correlation was detected between ano-vaginal distance and the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis. Further extensive studies are required to investigate this finding in different population groups.
