Clinical and sociodemographic correlates of preterm deliveries in two tertiary hospitals in southern Nigeria.

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
backgroundTo determine the prevalence of preterm delivery and identify the associated risk factors.
designThis was a five - month prospective case control study of two cohorts of women who had preterm and term deliveries.
settingCentral Hospital (CH), Warri, and Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH), Oghara, respectively in southern Nigeria.
participants522 women which consisted of 174 who presented in preterm labour or with preterm prelabour rupture of membranes as cases and 348 parturient with term deliveries served as controls.
interventionsThe study was conducted from May 1st 2015 to September 30th 2015. Socio - demographic characteristics, past gynaecological/obstetric factors, maternal/obstetric factors, and fetal outcomes were compared, and associations between these variables and gestational age at delivery were determined.
main outcome measuresPrevalence of preterm delivery associated clinical and socio-demographic correlates and the fetal salvage rates.
resultsThe incidence of preterm birth was 16%. Maternal age (
conclusionPreterm birth was common, with well-defined correlates and predictors. The fetal salvage rates were significantly different across the categories of preterm neonates.
fundingThe study was self-funded by the authors.
