Significance of highly phosphorylated insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 and cervical length for prediction of preterm delivery in twin pregnancies.

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
backgroundA twin pregnancy can carry greater risks than singleton pregnancies. About 60 in 100 twin pregnancies result in spontaneous birth before 37 wk, which is associated with several complications in the premature babies. Clinical detection of biomarkers may help to predict the possibility of premature birth so that corresponding interventions can be given to the pregnant women in a timely manner, in order to reduce the risk of preterm birth and improve the outcomes of the newborn infants.
aimTo explore the clinical value of transvaginal ultrasound measurement of cervical length combined with insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) hyperphosphorylation in cervical secretions as predictors of preterm delivery in twin pregnancies.
methodsA total of 254 pregnant women with twin pregnancies, who were admitted to Hainan General Hospital and underwent maternity examination, were selected as the study subjects from January 2015 to December 2018. All participants received transvaginal ultrasound measurement of cervical length and phosphorylated IGFBP-1 (phIGFBP-1) test between 24 and 34 wk gestation. The pregnancy outcomes were analyzed.
resultsOf the women with a positive phIGFBP-1 test result, preterm birth rate was higher in those with a cervical length ≤ 25 mm than those with a cervical length > 25 mm (all
conclusionCervical length combined with phIGFBP-1 tests is of value for the prediction of outcomes of preterm delivery in twin pregnancies.
