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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein velocity (CRPv) and inflammatory burden index (IBI) as novel systemic inflammatory biomarkers in predicting the latent period in pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). We investigated the role of these markers in estimating the timing of delivery and their association with perinatal and neonatal outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 337 singleton pregnancies diagnosed with PPROM at Ankara Etlik City Hospital between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025. Patients were divided into two groups based on the latency period. Maternal inflammatory markers, CRPv, and IBI, were recorded and analyzed. The relationship between these inflammatory markers and latency period was assessed, and ROC curve analysis was performed to determine optimal cutoff values.
resultsCRPv and IBI values were significantly higher in patients with a latency period of less than 48 h compared to those delivering after 48 h (p < 0.001). ROC analysis revealed that CRPv > 0.17 had 70% sensitivity and 67% specificity in predicting delivery within 48 h (AUC = 0.675, p < 0.001), while IBI > 35.8 demonstrated predictive accuracy for early delivery (AUC = 0.563, p = 0.047).
conclusionCRPv and IBI are promising inflammatory biomarkers for predicting the latency period in PPROM pregnancies. Their incorporation into clinical management may improve risk stratification, aiding in timely interventions to optimize maternal and neonatal outcomes. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore their integration into standard obstetric care.
