Cervical alterations in pregnancy.
Review in Best practice & research. Clinical obstetrics & gynaecology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks' gestation, remains a significant obstetric dilemma even after decades of research in this field. Although trends from 2007 to 2014 showed the rate of preterm birth slightly decreased, the CDC recently reported the rate of preterm birth has increased for two consecutive years since 2014. Currently, 1 in 10 pregnancies in the US still end prematurely. In this chapter, we focus on the "compartment" of the cervix. The goal is to outline the current knowledge of normal cervical structure and function in pregnancy and the current knowledge of how the cervix malfunctions lead to SPTB. We review the mechanisms by which our current interventions are hypothesized to work. Finally, we outline gaps in knowledge and future research directions that may lead to novel and effective interventions to prevent premature cervical failure and SPTB.
