Prevalence of genital mycoplasma in patients with genital tract infection attending a tertiary care hospital in South India.
Article in Indian journal of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Genital mycoplasmas are emerging sexually transmitted pathogens implicated in genitourinary infections, with their incidence increasing in recent years. They frequently cause asymptomatic, recurrent, and chronic infections, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility, thus posing a significant public health challenge. Aim: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from June 2022 to June 2024 in the department of dermatovenereology and leprology. Sexually active males and females (≥18 years) with genital discharge, dysuria, and lower abdominal pain were enrolled in the study. Vaginal, endocervical, and urethral discharge samples were subjected to preliminary microscopic examination (10% potassium hydroxide, Gram stain, and wet mount) and polymerase chain reaction for Results: Among 79 patients (10 males and 69 females), the overall prevalence of genital mycoplasmas was 43% (34/79). Conclusion: In our study, genital mycoplasmas were detected in 43% of patients presenting with genital symptoms. This high prevalence highlights their clinical relevance and underscores the need for targeted PCR-based screening in sexually transmitted infection clinics, considering their frequent underdiagnosis.
