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

Introduction: Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common and clinically important presenting complaint and reason for specimen submission, often suggesting lower genital tract disorders such as vaginal infections, and may adversely affect women's reproductive health and pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of common bacteria isolated from vaginal discharge specimens submitted from hospitalized patients at Longgang District Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital of Shenzhen City, in order to provide a reference for the interpretation of clinical specimen results and empirical antimicrobial therapy. Methods: Non-duplicate bacterial isolates recovered from vaginal discharge specimens collected from hospitalized patients between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2025 were retrospectively analyzed, and the composition of common vaginal bacterial isolates, the age distribution of patients, and the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of major isolates to commonly used antibiotics were assessed. Results: A total of 1,094 non-duplicate positive bacterial isolates were identified during 2021-2025, with Gram-positive bacteria predominating (65.2%). The major isolates were Discussion: Vaginal bacterial isolates from hospitalized patients were predominantly composed of
