The Vaginal Virome in Women's Health and Disease.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Most research on the vaginal microbiome has focused on bacterial communities (the bacteriome), but viruses, including eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophages, are also important players in vaginal health and disease states. In this review, we will briefly discuss the bacterial microbiome, delve into what is known about the vaginal virome and its impact on women's health, and finish with novel vaginal microbial or microbial-derived therapeutics on the horizon. More studies on the vaginal virome and its impact on women's health are needed to better prevent and treat gynecological, reproductive, and neonatal diseases.
