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

A healthy state of the vaginal microbiome can prevent vaginal disease and promote successful fertilization and healthy pregnancies. Little is known about the stability of the vaginal microbiome and the influence of factors such as diet and probiotics. While less explored, yeast probiotics have an interesting potential because of their immunomodulatory and pathogen inhibition capacities. In this study, we investigated the impact of the oral yeast probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 on the vaginal microbiomes of 52 healthy women using 16S and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR (qPCR). The vaginal fungal loads remained low, even after oral yeast supplementation, complicating the analysis of the vaginal mycobiome. Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus iners were the most dominant species in our study population and were found to codominate in 23% of the baseline samples.
