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 birth remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality globally and is worsened in crisis-affected countries like Lebanon. This study explored how social determinants of health relate to preterm birth and maternal postpartum outcomes, including quality of life (QoL), perceived stress, and social support. Objective: to explore the impact of the social environment in polycrises context on preterm birth, the association between preterm birth and maternal postpartum QoL, perceived stress, and social support. Study Design: A prospective cohort study was conducted in three Lebanese hospitals from September 2021 to December 2023. A total of 116 mother-infant pairs (78 full-term, 38 preterm) were recruited. Data on social determinants, perceived stress (PSS-10), social support (MSPSS), and QoL (WHOQOL-BREF) were collected at delivery and 4 to 6 months postpartum. Analyses included Results: Mothers of preterm infants had significantly higher stress (PSS-10: 19.53 vs 15.29, Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of social support, stress, and QoL on preterm birth outcomes in a crisis-affected region. Mothers of preterm infants experienced higher stress and lower QoL at birth, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support maternal mental health. Addressing these social determinants is needed for improving pregnancy outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations facing multiple social and economic challenges.
