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

objectiveThe present study was designed to investigate the relationship between food quality indices, including Macronutrient Quality Index (MQI), and Carbohydrate Food Quality Score (CFQS), and the risk of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in Iranian women.

resultsIn the adjusted model, after adjusting for potential confounders, significantly lower odds of BV were observed in the last highest tertile of the CFQS (odds ratio (OR): 0.317, confidence interval (CI) 95%: 0.155-0.646, p-value˂0.001), MQI (OR: 0.325, CI 95%: 0.176-0.599, p-value˂0.001), carbohydrate quality index (CQI) (OR: 0.288, CI 95%: 0.143-0.580, p-value˂0.001) and protein quality index (PQI) (OR: 0.498, CI 95%: 0.268-0.924, p-value = 0.029) compared to the lowest tertile of these indices. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
