Association between early pregnancy bleeding and neonatal outcome: a retrospective cohort study from low resource setting.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. 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
introductionEarly pregnancy bleeding (EPB) is considered as an important risk factor for pregnancy loss. Therefore, the rest of the pregnancy is managed cautiously in order to prevent adverse outcome in these patients. Sri Lanka, although a developing country, maternal and fetal health is maintained as a high standard despite limitations. This study is aimed at analysing association of EPB with neonatal outcomes in a low resource setting.
resultsA total of 238 women were included in this retrospective case-control study, of whom 81 (34%) experienced EPB and 157 (66%) served as matched controls. EPB was significantly associated with lower neonatal birth weight (adjusted OR = 2.44, p = 0.017). The odds of preterm delivery were markedly higher among women with EPB (adjusted OR = 14.34, P = 0.001), though the model fit was marginal. No significant associations were found between EPB and, pregnancy induced hypertension, or gestational diabetes mellitus.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates a significant association between EPB and low birth weight and strong but model-wise marginal association with preterm delivery, warranting early identification and close antenatal surveillance of pregnancies complicated by early bleeding, especially in resource-limited settings.
