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

Recent studies suggest that an imbalance in the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, may affect inflammation. The Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) is a new measure of dietary quality that reflects gut microbiota diversity and abundance. However, its association with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between DI-GM and the risk of developing PID. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 4539 women aged 18-59 years obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the period of 2013-2018. To explore the association between DI-GM and PID, we employed weighted multivariable linear and logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), and subgroup analyses. Additionally, mediation analysis was conducted to assess the influence of anti- and pro-inflammatory dietary patterns, represented by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), on the relationship between DI-GM and PID. Among the eligible participants, 255 (5.62%) had PID. A higher proportion of participants with lower DI-GM scores experienced PID. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed a negative association between DI-GM and the risk of PID, regardless of whether the independent variable was considered a continuous variable or in quartiles in the fully adjusted model (Model 3, continuous variable: OR = 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.79-0.96,
