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: Expectant management is an option for preterm prelabor rupture of the membrane (PPROM) between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation. Even though expectant delivery in PPROM is justified, there is limited data on predictors of PPROM delivered > 48 hrs in a real-world setting. Therefore, this study aimed to find clinical predictors for delivery > 48 hrs in women with PPROM as well as clinical outcomes in clinical practice. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at two tertiary care hospitals. The inclusion criteria were a singleton pregnancy with PPROM and planned expectant management. Clinical data were retrieved from the hospitals' databases. Eligible pregnant women were categorized into two groups: PPROM delivered < 48 hrs or PPROM delivered > 48 hrs. The primary outcome was factors predictive of PPROM delivered > 48 hrs. Results: During the study period, 519 pregnant women met the study criteria. Of those, 90 pregnant women (17.34 %) had PPROM delivered > 48 hrs. Factors independently associated with PPROM delivered > 48 hrs were maternal age ≥ 19 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.95, 95 % CI [0.91, 0.99]) and oligohydramnios (aOR 2.41, 95 % CI [1.45, 4.00]). Regarding maternal and neonatal outcomes, the PPROM delivered > 48 hrs group had lower neonatal birth weights (2245 g vs. 2490 g; p < 0.001) than the PPROM delivered < 48 hrs group. However, neonatal outcomes, including respiratory distress, sepsis, neonatal intensive care unit admission, early jaundice, hypoglycemia, positive pressure ventilation, and early respiratory support, were not different. Conclusions: Clinical predictors for PPROM delivered > 48 hrs in a real-world setting were maternal age and presence of oligohydramnios. Maternal and neonatal outcomes in the PPROM delivered > 48 hrs were almost comparable with the PPROM delivered < 48 hrs. PPROM delivered > 48 hrs may be safe and can be a treatment option for PPROM. However, further studies may be required in terms of generalizability as this study was conducted retrospectively in tertiary care hospitals in Thailand.
