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

Aim: This study aims to construct a prediction model for histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) and analyze the associations between the predicted risk of HCA and adverse outcomes in preterm infants. Methods: In total, 673 subjects were included in this cohort study and divided into HCA group ( Results: HCA occurred in 195 patients, accounting for 29.0%. The sensitivity of the prediction model was 0.821 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.767-0.874)], the specificity was 0.684 (95% CI: 0.642-0.726), the positive predictive value was 0.514 (0.459-0.570), the negative predictive value was 0.903 (95% CI: 0.873-0.934), the area under the curve was 0.821 (95% CI: 0.786-0.855), and the accuracy was 0.724 (95% CI: 0.690-0.757). The predicted risk of HCA was associated with a higher risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) [odds ratio (OR) = 3.48, 95% CI: 1.10-10.95)], sepsis (OR = 6.66, 95% CI: 2.17-20.43), and neonatal infections (OR = 9.85, 95% CI: 3.59-26.98), but not necrotizing enterocolitis (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.24-1.88), retinopathy of prematurity (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 0.37-6.85), and brain damage (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 0.82-3.83). After adjusting for confounders including gestational week at birth and birth weight, the risk of neonatal infections (OR = 5.03, 95% CI: 2.69-9.41) was increased in preterm infants' exposure to HCA. Conclusion: The model showed good predictive performance for identifying pregnant women with a higher risk of HCA. In addition, HCA was associated with the risk of BPD, sepsis, and infections in neonates.
