A pilot study on environmental and behavioral factors related to missed abortion.
Article in Environmental health and preventive medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the environmental and behavioral factors associated with the induction of missed abortion, with a particular focus on the relationship between job stress and missed abortion.
methodsThis was a case-control study in which 552 women participated (267 cases, 285 controls). Job stress was measured using the Job Content Questionnaire 1.0 (JCQ1.0).
resultsThe case and control groups were significantly different for many factors, including age, physical exercise, exposure time to cell phone and computer, home refurbishment, ventilation, folic acid supplements, preference for fried food, reproductive knowledge, premarital health screening, parity, and supervisor support (P < 0.05). For job stress, the univariate analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between cases and controls. Logistic analysis revealed that physical exercise (2-3 times per week or >3 times per week) [odds ratio (OR) 0.433, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.213-0.881 or OR 0.268, 95% CI 0.106-0.680, respectively], ventilation (OR 0.415, 95% CI 0.251-0.685), folic acid supplements (OR 0.409, 95% CI 0.265-0.633), age (OR 1.102, 95% CI 1.033-1.174), and supervisor support (OR 0.870, 95% CI 0.768-0.986) were the significant factors contributing to the missed abortion (P < 0.05).
conclusionsPhysical exercise, ventilation, folic acid supplements, and supervisor support were identified as protective factors for the prevention of missed abortion. Advanced age at pregnancy was a risk factor for missed abortion.
