Longitudinal Analysis of Vulvovaginal Bacteriome Following Use of Water- and Silicone-Based Personal Lubricants: Stability, Spatial Specificity, and Clinical Implications.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The vulvovaginal microbiome is a complex and dynamic ecosystem of microorganisms. The potential effects of common personal lubricants on its balance, which have implications for reproductive health, are still unknown. This study longitudinally assessed the impact of two commercially available lubricants on the composition and stability of the vaginal and vulvar bacteriome. Paired vaginal and vulvar swabs were collected at baseline and after repeated lubricant use, and the bacteriome was assessed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity were assessed using Shannon entropy and Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, respectively. The results showed that the vaginal bacteriome was dominated by
