Association of maternal preconception blood pressure with preterm birth: 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
The association between maternal preconception blood pressure (BP) and preterm birth (PTB) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between maternal preconception BP and PTB. This population-based cohort study included 715 984 Chinese women aged 20-49 years who participated in the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project and successfully had a singleton livebirth during 2014-2019 in Guangdong Province, China. Maternal preconception BP were measured by trained health workers. Multivariate logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline regressions were used to examine the association and dose-response relationship between maternal preconception BP and PTB, respectively. Maternal preconception hypertension was associated with the increased risk of PTB (adjusted odds ratios (aOR): 1.24; 95% CI: 1.14-1.34). Compared to women with normal preconception BP, the aORs for PTB were 1.09 (95% CI: 1.06-1.12), 1.24 (95% CI: 1.13-1.36), and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.15-1.79) for women with preconception elevated BP (120-139/ 80-89 mmHg, stage-1 hypertension (140-159/ 90-99 mmHg, and stage-2 hypertension (160-179/100-109 mmHg), respectively. According to the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association criteria, maternal preconception elevated BP and hypertension were also significantly associated with an increased risk of PTB. Preconception systolic and diastolic BP showed a U-shaped (χ
