Active and Passive Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes: A Study From a Developing Country.

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
Background: Smoking is one of the modifiable risk factors for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and is associated with low birth weight, preterm birth, respiratory, antepartum and intrapartum stillbirth, and perinatal death as well as long-term morbidity in offspring and sudden unexpected infant death. The rate of smoking in low- and middle-income countries is still relevantly high, and Jordan is no exception. Objective: To investigate the effect of active and passive smoking during pregnancy on adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The case-control study was conducted in Jordan in June 2020. Healthy women with full-term singleton pregnancy (n = 180) were interviewed and stratified into three groups: Group I, active smokers; Group II, passive smokers; and Group III, nonsmokers. The study variables included demographic data, current pregnancy history, cotinine level of mothers and newborns, and perinatal outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using the application package IBM SPSS 25. Various algorithms of statistical analysis were used depending on the type of distribution of feature and data quality. The threshold for statistical significance was set at Results: Active smokers had significantly lower gestational age at delivery compared to passive and nonsmoking women ( Conclusions: The current study illustrated that smoking during pregnancy leads to offspring with reduced birth weight, birth length, and head and chest circumference; reduces delivery gestational age; and lowers the first-minute Apgar score. Our study findings highlight the need for further research issued to smoking effects on perinatal outcomes, the implementation of actions to develop cessation interventions in the preconception period, and an evaluation of useful interventions to enhance a smoking-free environment during pregnancy.
