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: The vaginal microbiota demonstrates considerable heterogeneity and is shaped by factors such as race, geographic location, and individual variation. Although its central role in maintaining host health is well established, the precise mechanisms through which it contributes to the onset and progression of preterm birth remain incompletely understood and continue to be debated. Objective: This study aimed to characterize the vaginal microbiota of pregnant women who experienced preterm birth compared with those with full-term pregnancies. Through both Method: High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the vaginal microbial communities of women with preterm and full-term pregnancies. On gestational days (GD) 14 and 15, pregnant C57BL/6 mice received intravaginal inoculations of 50 μL containing either 5 × 10 Results: Conclusions: These findings indicate that
