Association of chorioamnionitis with infertility treatment and subsequent neonatal outcomes in the US: a population-based cohort study.

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 (CAM) is a common risk factor for preterm births, resulting in several adverse outcomes. The association between infertility treatment and CAM is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the association between infertility treatment and CAM and described subsequent neonatal outcomes.
methodsThis population-based cohort study used data from the National Vital Statistics System Database. We included women who had a singleton live birth from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. Women-infant pairs were stratified by infertility treatment, and the main outcome was a reported diagnosis of CAM in a checkbox format: clinical CAM or maternal temperature of > 38 °C. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association between infertility treatment and CAM and the effect of infertility treatment on neonatal outcomes in women diagnosed with CAM.
resultsThe final sample comprised 10,900,495 woman-infant pairs, and 1.4% received infertility treatment. Compared with the natural conception group, women receiving infertility treatment had a significantly higher risk of CAM (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.772 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.718-1.827]). Furthermore, newborns exposed to CAM had a higher risk of very low birth weight (VLBW) (aOR, 2.083 [95% CI, 1.664-2.606], P < .001), preterm birth (aOR, 1.497 [95% CI, 1.324-1.693]; P < .001), neonatal intensive care unit admission (aOR, 1.234 [95% CI, 1.156-1.317]; P < .001), and other adverse neonatal outcomes in the infertility treatment group compared with ones conceived naturally.
conclusionsThis study found that women who received infertility treatment had a higher risk of CAM. And CAM deteriorated neonatal outcomes in the infertility treatment group.
