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) is a significant risk factor for perinatal morbidity and mortality. It is the main cause of preterm birth and affects approximately 10% of all pregnancies. The occurrence of PPROM has recently increased significantly. However, there is limited data on the determinants of PROM in the study area. Objective: To assess the determinants of PPROM, among pregnant women admitted to maternity wards of public hospitals in the Sidama Region. Design: An institution-based, unmatched case-control study. Methods: The study was conducted in public hospitals in the Sidama Region from March 1st to May 15th, 2023. The consecutive cases were recruited until the required sample size was reached, and controls were randomly selected. Face-to-face interviews were used to collect data from 69 cases and 207 controls. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify determinants of PPROM. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported to show the strength of the association. The significance of the association was declared at a Results: A total of 69 cases and 207 controls were included in the study. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR: 2.65; 95% CI: 1.12-6.27), a history of abortion (AOR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.41-7.08), a history of abortion (AOR: 3.78; 95% CI: 1.75-8.15), a history of cesarean section (AOR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.10-5.99), a mid-upper arm circumference <23 cm (AOR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.02-4.54), a history of urinary tract infection (AOR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.10-5.32), and a hemoglobin level <11 mg/dl (AOR: 2.68; 95% CI: 1.15-6.23) were determinants of PPROM. Conclusion: Past obstetric history, nutritional status, and risks in the index pregnancy have an association with PPROM. Therefore, strategies to reduce the occurrence of PPROM should target women in rural areas and emphasize the early identification and treatment of urinary tract infections, anemia, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
