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

Preterm birth is a significant cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially in multiple pregnancies. Delayed interval delivery can prolong pregnancy for the remaining fetus(es) in an imminent stillbirth or extremely preterm birth of the first fetus, improving the lastborn's outcomes. We present a case of delayed interval delivery of a triplet pregnancy following preterm prelabour rupture of membranes and progressive cervical insufficiency. Following vaginal delivery of the first fetus at 24+1 gestational weeks, the patient received antibiotics and tocolysis. Cerclage was not conducted as the mother had a vaginal infection. A 15-day delivery interval for the second and third fetuses was achieved. The firstborn required mechanical ventilation and inotropic support, while the others only required continuous positive airway pressure. There is no consensus on the best way to perform delayed interval delivery. We achieved a complications-free interval of 15 days with conservative management in a triplet pregnancy.
