Impact of pre-pregnancy weight on the risk of premature rupture of membranes in Chinese women.

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
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on the incidence of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) among Chinese women. Methods: This was a hospital-based retrospective cohort study of 75,760 Chinese women who had live singleton births between 2016 and 2020. In this study, we utilized logistic regression analysis to estimate the association between pre-pregnancy BMI and PROM based on gestational age. Results: Prior to pregnancy, being overweight or obese was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), as evidenced by adjusted odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals of 1.336 (1.173-1.522) and 1.411 (1.064-1.872), respectively. Those with PPROM were divided into three groups according to gestational age: 22-27, 28-31, and 32-36 weeks. Women who were overweight or obese prior to pregnancy had a higher likelihood of experiencing PROM between 22 and 27 weeks of gestation. This finding remained consistent even after controlling for potential confounding factors, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, hydramnios, cervical abnormalities, and a history of preterm birth. Conclusion: Our research findings indicate that being overweight or obese before pregnancy is linked to a higher likelihood of experiencing PPROM. Therefore, achieving optimal weight before pregnancy is important to prevent PPROM and its associated complications.
