Upper Respiratory Microbiome in Pregnant Women: Characterization and Influence of Parity.
Article in Microorganisms, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
During pregnancy, the woman's immune system changes to support fetal development. These immunological modifications can increase the risk of respiratory diseases. Because the respiratory microbiome is involved in airway homeostasis, it is important to investigate how it changes during pregnancy. Additionally, since parity is associated with immune system alterations and cohabitants shared a similar microbiome, we investigated whether having a child may influence the respiratory microbiome of pregnant women. We compared the microbiome of 55 pregnant with 26 non-pregnant women using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analyzed taxonomy, diversity, and metabolic pathways to evaluate the differences among nulliparous, primiparous, and multiparous women. The microbiome was similar in pregnant and non-pregnant women, but pregnant women had higher alpha diversity (Chao1
