1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy of atosiban combined with ritodrine in threatened preterm labor (TPL) treatment and analysis of related risk factors of different pregnancy outcomes.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 127 patients with TPL who were hospitalized in the Children's Hospital of Shanxi and Women's Health Center of Shanxi from January 2020 to November 2021. There from, 58 patients treated with ritodrine were seen as the control group (CG), and 69 treated with atosiban and ritodrine were regarded as the joint group (JG). The inhibition rate after treatment was compared, and the changes of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the amniotic fluid before and after treatment were assessed. The pregnancy outcomes of patients were recorded, and the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. The full-term delivery rate, cesarean section rate and neonatal Apgar score >7 were compared, and their adverse reactions were evaluated.

resultsCompared with the JG, the improvement of uterine contraction in the CG was obviously lower, and so was the inhibition rate (P<0.05). The rates of full-term delivery and neonatal Apgar score >7 in the CG were lower than those in the JG, while that of cesarean section was higher (P<0.01). After treatment, the TIMP-1 level in the amniotic fluid in the CG was markedly lower (P<0.001), while the NO, IL-6 and PGE2 levels were higher (P<0.001) as compared with the joint group. The total incidence of adverse reactions in the JG was lower than that in the CG (P<0.05). Logistics regression analysis revealed that age<26 and use of Atosiban combined with Ritodrine are protective factors for pregnancy outcomes, while BMI≥20 before pregnancy is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy.

conclusionAtosiban combined with ritodrine can improve the condition of TPL patients, enhance the treatment efficacy, and reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
