Factors Associated with Spontaneous Preterm Birth after Ultrasound-Indicated Cerclage.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Ultrasound-indicated cerclage (UIC) is recommended to prevent spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in women with a short cervix at mid-trimester and a history of PTB. We assessed the factors related to sPTB after UIC and determined the corresponding risks. This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a university hospital. UIC was performed between 15 and 26 weeks of gestation in women with a cervical length of <2.5 cm. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine factors associated with sPTB after UIC. An earlier gestational age and shorter cervical length at UIC were associated with sPTB after UIC. While PTB history was not associated with an increased risk of sPTB, it did increase the risk of repeat cerclage after UIC. Higher levels of preoperative serum inflammatory markers and obesity significantly increased the risk of sPTB after UIC. These findings provide helpful guidance for patient counseling and management in predicting the delivery timing after UIC in women with a short cervix in the mid-trimester.
