A Comprehensive Update on the Management of Preterm Labor: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 labor (PTL) is defined as any birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation, or fewer than 259 days since the first day of the woman's last menstrual period (LMP). It is further classified into extremely preterm (less than 28 weeks), very preterm (28 to less than 32 weeks), and moderate or late preterm (32 to less than 37 completed weeks of gestation) based on the gestational age.PTL is associated with significant neonatal morbidity and mortality and maternal morbidity. Hence, it is essential to understand the risk factors associated with it and intervene in a timely manner to prevent or reduce the adverse perinatal outcomes. Obstetric factors, unmodifiable gynecological factors, chronic medical conditions, and recurrent periodontal disease predispose to PTL. Spontaneous PTL is mostly attributed to ascending genital tract infections during pregnancy. Maternal stress during pregnancy alters the neuroendocrine system and exaggerates the inflammatory responses and vascular hemodynamics predisposing to PTL. This narrative review has tried to summarize the various existing guidelines regarding the management (both prophylactic and therapeutic) of PTL.
