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

Objective: To explore specific characteristics of the vaginal microbiota of pregnant women with cervical insufficiency (CIC) and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: Records of 337 pregnant women who visited Huzhou Maternity & Child Health Care Hospital between June 2020 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the diagnosis, the patients were divided into the CIC (n = 225) and control groups (n = 112). The distribution characteristics of vaginal microbiota in pregnant women and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results: One hundred and nine patients in the CIC group showed significantly higher bacterial positivity than the 36 patients in the control group ( Conclusions: The vaginal microbiota of pregnant women with CIC is diverse, with predominantly Ureaplasma urealyticum. Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Chlamydia are risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with CIC.
