Association of induced abortion with preterm birth risk in first-time mothers.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Women who have previously had an induced abortion (IA) before their first birth have been associated with preterm birth (PTB). However, previous studies on the PTB are inconsistent. Therefore, the aim of this study was to clarify the association between IA and PTB and low birth weight (LBW) for first-time mothers. A total of 3,684 Southern Chinese women who gave birth for the first time to a live singleton infants were recruited between January 2015 and December 2015 in the province of Guangdong, China. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to determine whether IA was associated with PTB and LBW. Previous IA was not associated with increased risks of PTB or LBW, adjusted odds ratios were 0.80 (95% CI = 0.53 to 1.20) and 0.86 (95% CI = 0.57 to 1.31), respectively. Additionally, no significant associations were observed for infants born at before 37, before 32, and before 28 gestational weeks. And no significant associations were also observed for LBW measuring lower than 2500 grams and also measuring lower than 1500 grams. Our study suggested that a previous IA, as compared with women who reported no previous IA, does not increase the risk of PTB or LBW in subsequent pregnancy for the first-time mothers among Southern Chinese women.
