Vaginal Dysbiosis in Infertility: A Comparative Analysis Between Women with Primary and Secondary Infertility.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. 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
Infertility, both primary and secondary, is strongly influenced by microbiological factors, with the vaginal microbiota playing a key role in reproductive health.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to characterize the vaginal microbiota of 136 Mexican women diagnosed with infertility-primary (n = 58) and secondary (n = 78)-by evaluating the presence of pathogenic bacterial species and their associations with infertility conditions.
methodsSamples were obtained through cervical swabs, and microorganism identification was performed using qPCR techniques.
resultsAnalysis revealed a positive correlation between increased age and the likelihood of primary infertility, as well as a negative correlation with secondary infertility. Significant differences in microbial composition were also observed between the two infertility groups.
conclusionOur findings suggest that the composition of the vaginal microbiota may play a decisive role in infertility, highlighting the need for personalized therapeutic strategies based on microbial profiles.
