The Association Between Neighborhood Gunshot Frequency and the Development of Preterm Birth.

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
Objective: To determine the association between stress, as objectively measured by frequency of neighborhood gunshots and preterm birth (PTB). Study Design: A retrospective chart review of 1675 individual births was analyzed of pregnant women who lived in the City of Syracuse, New York, United States. The frequency of gunshots was measured in the acute phase (within 1 week of delivery) and the chronic phase (sum total of all gunshots in the previous 2 years). Primary outcome includes PTB prior to 37 weeks of gestation. Secondary analysis includes delivery prior to 34, 32, and 28 weeks of gestation. Result: Gunshots were significantly different between the three districts of Syracuse, which matched with differences in socioeconomic and comorbid conditions. The different districts also experienced differences in frequency of PTB (highest 18%, medium 13%, lowest 12%, Conclusion: The use of acute-phase and chronic-phase gunshots as a method to simulate stress levels is not associated with the development of PTB.
