Comparison of amniotic fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8 and cathelicidin in the diagnosis of intra-amniotic infection.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the association of amniotic fluid (AF) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and cathelicidin concentrations with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) in pregnancies with preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes or intact membranes. STUDY
designAmniocentesis was performed in 54 singleton pregnancies between 22
resultsMIAC was present in 18 (33%) women. The cutoff value for the diagnosis of MIAC was 41.5 ng ml
conclusionThe performance of AF-cathelicidin in the prediction of MIAC is comparable to AF-MMP-8.
