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

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which involves infection and inflammation of the female reproductive tract, can lead to sequelae including chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy and tubal factor infertility. A causative pathogen is not identified in many PID cases (idiopathic PID) and does not develop in all women with a sexually transmitted infection or bacterial vaginosis. Therefore, there is a need to better understand the pathogenesis of PID. A case-control study was conducted to explore microbiome, antibiotic resistance and immune gene expression in PID. Microbial profiling using both 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic approaches revealed that bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria such as
