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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesChronic endometritis (CE) has been linked to implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, and endometrial dysbiosis with low

methodsCross-sectional study with descriptive results of 15 endometrial biopsies analyzed in parallel by intensified culture and 16S rDNA (V3-V6) sequencing (RA threshold ≥ 5%).

resultsCulture yielded growth in 13/15 samples (86.7%), whereas NGS reported findings in 15/15 (100%). NGS provided additional taxa beyond culture in 14/15 (93.3%), while culture identified taxa missed by NGS in 10/15 (66.7%). In both culture-negative cases, NGS detected ≥1 taxon.

conclusions16S NGS complements intensified culturomics for characterizing the endometrial microbiota in CE, enhancing detection-especially when culture is negative-and supports a combined, clinically contextualized interpretation. Larger, controlled cohorts are warranted to validate diagnostic and prognostic utility.
