Vaginal Microbial Colonization after Antibiotic Treatment in Women with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: An Observational Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) stands as a primary contributor to preterm deliveries worldwide, closely linked to consequential infectious peripartum complications, including chorioamnionitis and early-onset neonatal sepsis. As a prophylactic measure, individuals following pPROM routinely undergo antibiotic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the vaginal microbial colonization after antibiotic treatment following pPROM. Therefore, we retrospectively assessed the impact of antibiotic treatment on the maternal vaginal microbial colonization in 438 post-pPROM patients delivering before 29 gestational weeks. Vaginal samples were collected for microbiological analysis before and after antibiotic administration and analysed for seventeen pre-defined microbial groups. We observed eradication in eleven microbial groups, including beta-hemolytic streptococci group B and
