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

backgroundAdenomyosis is thought to be associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the relationship between pre-pregnancy uterine volume and preterm birth in singleton gravid women with adenomyosis.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 586 pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy between January 2014 and December 2022 who had a pre-pregnancy diagnosis of adenomyosis in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital. Multivariate logistic models were adopted to analyze the association between pre-pregnancy uterine volume and pregnancy outcomes in adenomyosis patients, including primary outcome (preterm birth) and secondary outcomes (pregnancy complications). The logistic model was performed for subgroup analysis as a sensitivity test.

resultsThe preterm birth (PTB) rate was 15.19% (89/586). The median uterine volume in preterm birth group 108.9 cm

conclusionsIncreased pre-pregnancy uterine volume may be a potential risk factor for preterm birth in women with adenomyosis. It may provide a target for future monitoring and intervention to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with adenomyosis.
