1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Omega-3 fatty acids and prenatal vitamins support fetal growth, but most studies assess omega-3 supplementation without accounting for baseline prenatal vitamin use during pregnancy. In this secondary analysis, we obtained data from the large, prospective Nulliparous Mother-to-be (nuMoM2b) cohort study of 9,461 nulliparous individuals. Participants were enrolled through eight clinical sites across the United States. We compared adverse birth outcomes between those taking additional omega-3 supplements beyond standard prenatal vitamin intake (PNV-OM) vs. prenatal vitamins alone (PNV). PNV-OM intake was associated with significantly lower rates of preterm birth (5.04 vs. 8.41%,
