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

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a disease caused by vaginal microbiota dysbiosis. Here, we propose the use of synthetic bacterial consortia transplantation (SBCT) for the treatment of Gardnerella vaginalis-induced BV mice. The results showed that SBCT significantly reduced vaginal tissue damage and restored the vaginal microbiota, decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-8), and suppressed NF-κB activation. IL-17, iNOS, and COX-2 expression in vaginal tissue were also down-regulated. However, IL-10 and Foxp3 showed up-regulated expression in mice. Compared with vaginal microbiota transplantation (VMT), results indicated that VMT was more effective than SBCT in suppressing G. vaginalis-induced inflammation. The obtained results suggest that synthetic bacterial consortia might be used as a potential biotherapeutic agent for the treatment of G. vaginalis-induced bacterial vaginosis. Video Abstract.
