Repeated measures of urinary oxidative stress biomarkers and preterm birth in Puerto Rico.

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
backgroundPreterm birth (PTB; gestational age <37 weeks), the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide, is of particular concern in Puerto Rico. Rates of PTB in Puerto Rico peaked at 20% in 2006, which are historically some of the highest in the world. Oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated as contributors to adverse birth outcomes, including PTB, and these associations have not been explored in Puerto Rico. Our objective was to examine associations between urinary oxidative stress biomarkers and PTB in the Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats (PROTECT) pregnancy cohort (N = 469).
methods8-iso-prostaglandin F
resultsAveraged levels of 8-iso-PGF
conclusionsOur results suggest that oxidative stress and inflammation, as measured by these biomarkers, may be important contributors to PTB. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of the role these biomarkers may play in the causal pathway between environmental factors and PTB.
