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

Aim: To summarize current evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which the cervicovaginal microbiota mediates post-injury endometrial repair and to discuss relevant microbiota-targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A narrative review was conducted based on relevant English-language literature retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to April 30, 2026. The literature was synthesized with a focus on the role of the cervicovaginal microbiota in endometrial repair through the TGF-β1/Smad, TLR4/NF-κB, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways, as well as relevant microbiota-targeted intervention strategies. Results: Cervicovaginal microbiota dysbiosis promotes endometrial fibrosis and impairs tissue regeneration via dysregulation of the above signaling pathways. Conclusion: The cervicovaginal microbiota is an important regulator of post-injury endometrial repair. Microbiota-targeted interventions represent a promising therapeutic direction, though current evidence remains largely observational and further high-quality clinical trials are needed.
