Decreased Nutrient Intake Is Associated With Premature Cervical Remodeling.
Article in Journal of obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing : JOGNN. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.

objectiveTo examine the direct relationship between nutrient intake and cervical remodeling.

settingMaternal-fetal medicine clinic in a Midwestern urban city.
participantsForty-seven pregnant African American women.
methodsParticipants completed the Block brief food frequency questionnaire at 19 to 24 weeks and 27 to 29 weeks gestation and had quantitative ultrasonic attenuation estimates at 19 to 21 weeks, 23 to 25 weeks, 27 to 29 weeks, 31 to 33 weeks, and 35 to 37 weeks gestation.
resultsTrajectory mixture models identified two subpopulations within our sample: those at risk (n = 36) and at less risk (n = 11) for premature cervical remodeling. More participants in the less-risk group consumed the dietary reference intake for calcium, vitamin A, folate, vitamin E, zinc, and vitamin D than in the at-risk group. The percentage of participants in the less-risk group who consumed the recommended dietary reference intake for vitamin E was twice the percentage of women in the at-risk group (82% and 44%, respectively; p = .004). Mean intake of calcium was almost 1.3 times more (p = .05) and for zinc was 1.5 times more (p = .04) in the less-risk group than in the at-risk group.
conclusionPractitioners can inform women that certain nutrients, particularly zinc, calcium, and vitamin E, could be important to the health of the cervix and inhibit premature cervical remodeling, which in turn may help prevent preterm birth.
