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.

Abstract

objectivesBacterial vaginosis (BV) and trichomoniasis are the most common causes of vaginitis. Both infections are associated with increased risk of acquisition and transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections as well as adverse reproductive health outcomes. Co-infection is common, with rates ranging from 60% to 80%. We evaluated the efficacy of single-dose oral secnidazole 2 g for the treatment of trichomoniasis in a subgroup of women co-infected with BV and trichomoniasis.

conclusionSingle-dose oral secnidazole 2 g was highly efficacious in curing trichomoniasis in women co-infected with BV. Appropriate and effective treatment options for co-infection are essential for reducing transmission and reinfection. Secnidazole is the only single-dose medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of BV in women and trichomoniasis in women and men.
