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

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a complex condition with multifactorial causes. This study aimed to characterize the microbial composition of endometrial fluid in RPL patients compared with healthy controls. Methods: A total of 114 participants were recruited from the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University between March and September 2023, including 68 RPL patients and 46 healthy controls. Clinical data and endometrial fluid samples were collected. Microbial DNA was extracted and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Microbial diversity was assessed with QIIME, semi-partial correlation analysis was applied to explore associations between groups, and LEfSe was used to identify differentially abundant taxa. Results: No significant differences in alpha diversity indices were found between the groups (p>0.05). However, beta diversity showed significant differences (p<0.05), indicating distinct microbial compositions. At the genus level, Discussion: The study emphasizes the impact of microbial imbalances on reproductive health, potentially aiding in the development of targeted interventions to restore microbial balance and improve pregnancy outcomes in RPL patients.
