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
Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) contributes to over one-third of preterm births, and PPROM infants are more susceptible to infections. However, the risk factors remain poorly understood. We here aim to investigate the association of duration of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and environmental microbiota with the gut microbiota and infection in PPROM infants. Methods: Forty-six premature infants were recruited from two hospitals, and infant fecal and environmental samples were collected. 16 s rRNA sequencing was performed to analyze the fecal and environmental microbiome. Human inflammatory cytokines in cord vein plasma were measured. Results: The gut microbiota composition of PPROM infants was different from that of non-PPROM infants, and the microbiome phenotypes were predicted to be associated with a higher risk of infection, further evidenced by the significantly increased levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in cord vein plasma of PPROM infants. The diversity of the gut microbiota in PPROM infants increased significantly as the duration of PROM excessed 12 h, and Conclusions: This study highlights that the duration of PROM is associated with the accumulation of environmental pathogens in the gut of PPROM infants, which is a risk factor for nosocomial infections. Improving environmental hygiene could be effective in optimizing the clinical care of PPROM infants.
