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
introductionThe aim of this study was to assess the incidence of all major fractures and surgery during pregnancy and the outcomes of pregnancy in Finland between 1998 and 2017. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study using nationwide data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care and the Finnish Medical Birth Register. As participants we included all women aged between 15 and 49 years from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2017 and their ≥ 22-week pregnancies.
resultsOf a total 629,911 pregnancies, 1813 pregnant women were hospitalized with a fracture diagnosis, yielding an incidence of 247 fractures/100,000 pregnancy-years. Of these, 24% (n = 513/2098) were treated operatively. The most common fractures were fractures of the tibia, ankle, and the forearm, which made up half of all fractures. The incidence of pelvic fractures was 6.8/100,000 pregnancy-years, with an operation rate of 14%. The stillbirth rate of all fracture patients was low at 0.6% (n = 10/1813), although this was 1.5-fold the overall stillbirth rate in Finland. Lumbosacral and comminuted spinopelvic fractures resulted in preterm delivery in 25% (n = 5/20) of parturients, with a stillbirth rate of 10% (n = 2/20).
conclusionThe incidence of fracture hospitalization during pregnancy is lower than in the general population, and fractures in this population are more often treated conservatively. A higher proportion of preterm deliveries and stillbirths occurred in women with lumbosacral and comminuted spinopelvic fractures. Maternal mortality and stillbirth rates remain low among women with fractures leading to hospitalization or surgery during pregnancy.
