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

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) involves multiple consecutive miscarriages in early pregnancy, affecting a significant number of Indian women and placing substantial physical and emotional stress on expecting couples. This expert consensus aims to highlight probiotics as a promising option for enhancing fertility and supporting successful pregnancy outcomes, offering hope to individuals and couples affected by RPL. A group of fourteen experts with diverse expertise in gynecology, obstetrics, and fertility from across India gathered between June 29 and June 30, 2024. According to the experts, advanced maternal age emerges as an independent risk factor for miscarriage, with increased risks among older Indian women. The major contributors to RPL include thyroid disease and polycystic ovarian disease. Experts emphasize that the vaginal microbiome dysbiosis, characterized by the reduced dominance of
