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: In women of reproductive age, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common infection of the reproductive system. The existence of BV among pregnant women has momentously attracted the attention of both clinicians and the scientific community due to its potential link with adverse clinical outcomes during pregnancy. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of bacterial infections in pregnancy and their impact on the outcome of childbirth. Methods: We conducted this study in one year in pregnant women at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the General Hospital Tešanj. In the study included N = 295 pregnant women. Of the total number, pregnant women are divided into two groups, working group N = 55 (pregnant women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis), control group N = 240 (pregnant women without bacterial vaginosis). Results: In the observed one-year period, there were a total of N=295 pregnant women, of which N=55 (19%) who had bacterial vaginosis and N=240 (81%) without bacterial vaginosis. Pregnant women reported that the majority had two sexual partners, with a statistical difference between the groups (p=0.001), and the majority were in the second trimester of pregnancy during the study, with a statistically significant difference between pregnant women with and without bacterial vaginosis (p=0.0001). Of the symptoms reported by pregnant women, vulvar pruritus was the most dominant, with a statistically significant difference between groups (p=0.001). Dysuria, dyspareunia, and lower abdominal pain were the less common symptoms reported by pregnant women in both groups, but without a statistically significant difference (p>0.05). In the group of pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis, as many as 29 babies were premature, and in the group without bacterial vaginosis only 6, with a statistically significant difference between pregnant women (p=0.0001). Conclusion: In our one-year study, the prevalence of bacterial infections was found in 19% of pregnant women, and had an impact on the occurrence of preterm birth with a statistically significant difference compared to pregnant women without bacterial vaginosis, and lower birth weight.
