The association between adverse pregnancy outcomes and non-viral genital pathogens among women living in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review.
Review in Frontiers in reproductive health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Adverse pregnancy outcomes are the main causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, including long-term physical and psychological sequelae. These events are common in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa, despite national efforts. Maternal infections can cause complications at any stage of pregnancy and contribute to adverse outcomes. Among infections, those of the genital tract are a major public health concern worldwide, due to limited availability of prevention, diagnosis and treatment approaches. This applies even to treatable infections and holds true especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. As late as 2017, the region accounted for 40% of all reported treatable non-viral genital pathogens worldwide, many of which have been independently associated with various adverse pregnancy outcomes, and that include
