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

Trichomoniasis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection worldwide, and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) has received little public health attention, and only limited data are available on prevalence of TV and other Trichomonas-associated syndromes in pregnant women. This study aimed to determine associations between pregnancy and incident trichomoniasis-related diseases. Data of pregnant women were extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan. The pregnant cohort included 113,781 women, and cases were randomly matched by age, and index year with those of non-pregnant women (n = 113,781). Risk of incident trichomoniasis-related diseases was also not significantly different between pregnant and non-pregnant women. However, after stratifying by age or level of care, the younger subgroup among pregnant women had a higher risk of incident trichomoniasis-related diseases than did the younger subgroup in non-pregnant women, while the elder subgroup among pregnant women had a lower risk of incident trichomoniasis-related diseases than did the same subgroup in non-pregnant women (all p < 0.05). The higher level of care (medical center) subgroup among pregnant women had a lower risk of incident trichomoniasis-related diseases than did the same subgroup in non-pregnant women. In conclusions, although pregnancy is not significantly associated with risk of trichomoniasis-related diseases, data of the present study support an enhanced high level of medical care for pregnant women, emphasizing the potential of high medical care in reduced incidence of trichomoniasis-related diseases. This may be an effective strategy for reducing various pregnancy complications associated with trichomoniasis-related diseases.
