Suspected clinical chorioamnionitis with peak intrapartum temperature <38
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundChorioamnionitis (CA) affects up to 3.9% of all deliveries worldwide and is one of the leading causes of early-onset neonatal sepsis. Fever≥38
aimTo estimate the prevalence of confirmed chorioamnionitis and adverse neonatal outcomes among those mothers with PIT below 38 MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective chart review among mothers delivered at Al-Wakra Hospital, Qatar, between1
resultsAmong 21,471 mothers, 442 were suspected of having CA (2.06%, 95% CI 1.88 to 2.26%). After exclusions, 415 were included in the study, 203(48.9%) mothers had PIT between 37.6-37.9
conclusionThe incidence of suspected clinical CA in our institution was within the international rates. Although nearly half of the mothers with suspected clinical CA had peak temperature below the recommended diagnostic criteria, the rate of confirmed CA and neonatal outcome was not significantly different from those with PIT≥38
