Maternal predictive factors for preterm birth: A case-control study in Southern Iran.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPreterm birth (PTB) is one of the most important factors that increase the risk of chronic diseases and postpartum death in infants. The aim of this study was to determine the maternal factors that affect the birth of preterm infants in the city of Bandar Abbas. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a case-control study that was performed on 400 preterm infants. Sampling was done by a simple method, and information was gathered by interviewing the mothers and their medical records. Data were collected by SPSS software version 16. To compare risk factors in the two groups, conditional logistic regression was used, and
resultsResults showed that factors such as type of delivery (odds ratio [OR] = 3.584, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.981-6.485), preeclampsia (OR = 2.688, 95% CI: 1.164-6.207), history of PTB (OR = 4.171, 95% CI: 1.483-11.728), premature rupture of membranes (OR = 3.273, 95% CI: 1.745-6.137), care during prenatal (OR = 0.334, 95% CI: 0.159-0.701), placental abruption (OR = 3.209, 95% CI: 1.209-8.519), placenta previa (OR = 9.333, 95% CI: 2.086-41.770), and cervical insufficiency (OR = 11, 95% CI: 1.381-87.641) were independent risk factors of preterm infant birth.
conclusionsThe PTB risk is higher for women with cervical insufficiency, history of placenta previa, and history of preterm. Early recognition and management of these high-risk conditions among pregnant women may lead to a reduction in PTB rates.
