Value of serial cervical length measurement in prediction of spontaneous preterm birth in post-conization pregnancy without short mid-trimester cervix.
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 3 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
Serial cervical length (CL) measurement in mid-trimester is recommended in post-conization pregnancy to estimate the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB). A short mid-trimester cervix (CL < 25 mm) has been considered as a strong predictor for SPTB. However, the low incidence of short cervix limits the utility of mid-trimester CL measurement in prediction of SPTB. A great proportion of women who develop SPTB don't have a short mid-trimester cervix. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the additional value of serial CL measurement in predicting SPTB in addition to detecting short cervix alone. A total of 613 post-conization pregnant women who did not have short mid-trimester cervix between January 2004 and January 2014 were included in this study. Serial CL measurements were taken by transvaginal ultrasound at three timepoints (A: 13 + 0-15 + 6 weeks, B: 16 + 0-18 + 6 weeks, and C: 20 + 0-22 + 6 weeks). Eight parameters were analyzed for predicting SPTB, including CL measurements at different timepoints (CL
