Association of pre-pregnancy body-mass-index and gestational weight gain with preterm singleton birth in women with cervical cerclage: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
obejectiveTo examine the correlations of pre-pregnancy Body-Mass-Index (BMI) and Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) with preterm singleton delivery among American women with cervical cerclage.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of 33822 pregnant women with cervical cerclage selected from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) 2009-2013 database. GWG was converted to gestational age-standardized z scores. Associations of pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG with preterm birth risk were evaluated using risk factor-adjusted log-binomial regression models.
resultsPreterm birth accounted for 10378 (30.68%) of the pregnancies in our research. Women with pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity were both associated with a significantly higher risk of preterm birth than those with normal weight (RR(95% CI): 1.06(1.02,1.10), P = 0.007;RR(95% CI): 1.13(1.09,1.17), P < 0.001). Preterm birth risks were higher in pre-pregnancy underweight women with low GWG z scores (RR(95% CI): 1.52(1.26,1.84), P < 0.001). Among pre-pregnancy normal-weight women, those with low (RR(95% CI): 1.17(1.10,1.24), P < 0.001) or high (RR(95% CI): 1.23(1.14,1.33, P < 0.001) GWG z scores both had an increased risk of preterm birth. Preterm birth risks were higher in women with pre-pregnancy overweight when they had high GWG z scores (RR(95% CI): 1.20(1.10,1.32), P < 0.001). Among women with pre-pregnancy obesity, those with high GWG z scores had increased preterm birth risks (RR(95% CI): 1.20(1.14,1.27), P < 0.001). Notably, there was a significant reduction in preterm birth risk among women with low GWG z scores in the pre-pregnancy obesity group (RR(95% CI): 0.88(0.81,0.95), P = 0.002).
conclusionsPregnant women with cervical cerclage should maintain an appropriate weight before and during pregnancy, suggesting that more tailored weight control and prenatal care should be provided to pregnant women according to their pre-pregnancy BMI.
