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

backgroundThe vaginal microbiome has an essential role in female reproduction, especially during assisted reproduction treatments. The objective of the study was to examine vaginal microbiome profiles of women following intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures and determine how they relate to clinical pregnancy outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective observational study was conducted on 100 women with IUI treatment. Before the procedure, vaginal swabs were taken and sequenced using the 16S rRNA gene to determine microbial community types. Based on microbiome profiles, patients were divided into

resultsOverall, 68% of the participants had

conclusionsThe success rates of IUI were significantly associated with vaginal microbiome composition, particularly the predominance of
