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

Background: Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is a recalcitrant medical condition that affects many women of reproductive age. The importance of biofilm formation by Methods: Vaginal tissues were sampled from twelve patients clinically and microbiologically diagnosed as RVVC or VVC at a post-antifungal-treatment and asymptomatic period. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence in situ hybridization in combination with Results: Conclusions: In summary, our study provides direct evidence to support the presence of
