The Sex Difference in the Pathophysiology of Preterm Birth.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Preterm birth (PTB) refers to a labor before 37 gestational weeks. This is a major global contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although fetal sex is frequently treated as a confounding variable in PTB research, relatively few studies have conducted sex-stratified analyses to investigate how male and female fetuses may respond differently to various intrauterine exposures. This represents an underexplored area with important implications for understanding fetal sexual dimorphism-specific vulnerability to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Understanding the role of fetal sex differences in the pathophysiology of preterm birth (PTB) regarding processes such as inflammation, placental dysfunction, and oxidative stress is crucial. These delicate processes are tightly interrelated, but also independently contribute to pregnancy complications. Recognizing fetal sex as a biological variable for such processes is essential for improving mechanistic insight, providing refined predictive models.
