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

During pregnancy, the fetal membranes (i.e., amniochorionic membranes) surround the intrauterine cavity and provide mechanical, immune, and endocrine support to protect the fetus. Though they are a vital component of the intrauterine cavity, the fetal membranes are largely overlooked as an extension of the placenta, leading to a poor understanding of their role during gestation, parturition, or preterm birth. The fetal membranes are comprised of fetal cellular and stromal layers and line up with maternal decidua forming the feto-maternal interface during pregnancy. This interface plays a large role during pregnancy and the induction of term or preterm parturition (e.g., labor). Here we summarize the function of the fetal membranes focusing on their role during gestation at term, and during preterm births.
