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

Objectives: To investigate the effect of azithromycin on the levels of serum inflammatory factors and T lymphocyte subsets in patients with gynecological mycoplasma infection. Methods: Records of 250 patients with gynecological mycoplasma infection, treated in our hospital from May 2020 to June 2021, were retrospectively divided into two groups based on the received treatment. Patient (n=120) that were treated with levofloxacin tablets comprised the control group, and patients (n=130) treated with levofloxacin tablets (250mg) and azithromycin tablets comprised the observation group. Changes of serum inflammatory factors and T lymphocyte subsets in the two groups after two weeks of treatment with corresponding drugs were analyzed retrospectively. Results: After the treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α Tumor necrosis factor α TNF- α in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total clinical efficacy in the observation group was 93.08%, significantly higher than 80.00% in the control group, and the total incidence of adverse drug reactions was 6.15%, significantly lower than 14.17% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Azithromycin used in clinical treatment of patients with gynecological mycoplasma infection can effectively improve anti-inflammatory and immune response, improve the clinical efficacy of the treatment and reduce adverse reactions.
