The trends and associated factors of preterm deliveries from 2001 to 2011 in Taiwan.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The rate of preterm birth has been increasing worldwide. Most preterm babies are at increased risk of central nervous system impairments as well as respiratory and gastrointestinal complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in preterm birth and associated factors contributing to preterm delivery in Taiwan. Information on obstetric antecedents and risk factors of preterm birth of pregnant women was obtained from the Taiwan National Medical Birth Register database. All live births from 2001 to 2011 in Taiwan were included in this study. A total of 2,334,532 live births from 2001 to 2011 were included in this study. Overall, the proportion of preterm deliveries increased by 11.1% (from 8.2% in 2001 to 9.1% in 2011). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that nulliparity, multiple births, maternal medical complications, maternal age <20 years or ≥40 years, and medical indication for earlier delivery were positively associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery. Nulliparous women aged younger than 20 years and older than 40 years should be recognized as at-risk for preterm birth.
