Intra-Amniotic Inflammation or Infection: Suspected and Confirmed Diagnosis of "Triple I" at Term.

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
Chorioamnionitis (CA) at term of pregnancy can have an infectious and/or inflammatory origin and is associated with adverse outcomes. Triple I (intrauterine inflammation, infection, or both, TI) has been proposed to reduce the overdiagnosis of infection and neonatal overtreatment. The aim of this study is to identify clinical and histological variables that could predict adverse outcomes when TI is suspected and/or confirmed. This retrospective cohort study included 404 pregnancies (gestational age ≥ 37 weeks) that were divided into 5 all-inclusive and mutually exclusive groups. TI was defined according to the NICHD definition of 2015, and it could be confirmed (TI+) or not confirmed (TI-) via histological examination. Signs of infection/inflammation that did not conform to the definition of TI were classified as "clinical suspicion" and could be supported (CS+) or not supported (CS-) by histology. Cases of histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) without clinical manifestation represented a fifth group. Whole placental involvement (WPLI) was defined as a histological inflammation involving the maternal and fetal sides. There were 113 TI+, 30 TI-, 186 CS+, 35 CS-, and 40 isolated HCA cases. WPLI was diagnosed in 133 cases (39.2%). Composite neonatal outcome (CNO) occurred in 114 cases (28.2%) while composite maternal outcome (CMO) occurred in 192 cases (47.5%). Compared with CS+, TI+ was more predictive of CNO (
