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

A literature review was undertaken to examine the risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. A search of OVID Medline and Embase databases was conducted for studies published between 1946 and 26 June 2023. This review looked solely at prospective cohort study designs and searched reference lists of studies selected for inclusion. This literature review confirmed that C. trachomatisis a key factor in the development of PID in women through different pathogenic mechanisms. However, to reach more firm conclusions on the subject, further prospective cohort studies with a larger cohort size and a longer follow-up time are needed.
