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

Purpose: Emerging evidence suggests that an abnormal endometrial microbiota may be a potential factor contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). This study aimed to characterize the endometrial microbiota in patients with RPL and to explore its association with miscarriage. Patients and Methods: Based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, EndoMetrial Microbiome Assay (EMMA) data from women attending clinics were collected and categorized into RPL and control groups according to their miscarriage history. Species diversity analysis, differential microbiota analysis, and machine learning methods were employed to identify key microbial genera associated with RPL. Microbial network analysis was then performed to further characterize the endometrial microbiome in patients with RPL. Results: No significant differences in α-diversity were observed between the RPL and control groups across multiple indices (all P > 0.05); however, β-diversity differed significantly (Euclidean distance, P = 0.039). Regarding species composition, the control group showed a significantly higher abundance of Conclusion: These findings offer novel insights into the mechanisms of endometrial microenvironmental changes in patients with RPL and highlight potential microbial biomarkers and therapeutic targets for future clinical applications.
