SARS-CoV-2 is not detectable in cervicovaginal secretions from women with active COVID-19 infection- a pilot study.
Article in JBRA assisted reproduction, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo detect the shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in cervicovaginal secretions of women with active COVID 19 infection.
methodsA cross-sectional study from a COVID facility including women aged 20-45 years with active COVID-19 infection, cervicovaginal secretions were collected from cervix and posterior fornix using dacron swab within 7 days of symptom onset or 5 days of nasopharyngeal rRT-PCR test positivity in asymptomatic women. Cervicovaginal samples of women with mild symptoms were tested using rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2.
resultsSARS-CoV-2 was not detected in cervicovaginal secretions of any of the 11 women included in the study.
conclusionsSARS-CoV-2 does not shed in the cervicovaginal secretions of women with mild COVID 19 infection, ruling out sexual and vertical transmission of virus in mild and asymptomatic disease.
