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: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and vaginal dysbiosis during pregnancy are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in East London, South Africa. We enrolled pregnant women at gestational age <27 weeks, confirmed by ultrasound. We tested vaginal samples using nucleic acid amplification tests for Results: From April 1, 2021 to August 29, 2023, we enrolled 603 women, followed up 584 and obtained pregnancy outcomes for 560 (93%). Median age was 28 years (interquartile range, IQR 24, 33) and 27% of women were living with HIV. Discussion:
