Maternal anemia at admission for labor in twin pregnancies: an indicator of adverse maternal and neonatal outcome.

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
purposeMaternal anemia during pregnancy is associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes. This study aimed to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with anemia in twin pregnancies, compared to women with normal hemoglobin levels.
methodsA multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted including women with twin pregnancies who delivered at 24-42 weeks between 2005 and 2021. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between those who had diagnosis of maternal anemia upon admission for labor (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL), to those who have normal hemoglobin level. The primary outcome was composite adverse neonatal outcomes. Univariate analysis was followed by multivariate analysis to control potential confounders.
resultsDuring the study period, there were 5,530 twin deliveries; 5,004 women met the inclusion criteria. The maternal anemia prevalence upon admission was 16.8% (n = 840). After controlling for potential confounders, we found an independent association between maternal anemia in twin pregnancies and composite adverse neonatal outcomes for both twins-aOR 1.81 (1.55-2.12) for twin A and aOR 1.77 (1.51-2.06) for twin B. Anemia was also independently associated with higher risk for preterm delivery, cesarean delivery, maternal blood product transfusion and NICU admission for both twins.
conclusionsMaternal anemia in twin pregnancies is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Clinicians should be aware of this condition, consider appropriate interventions for correcting the anemia, and ensure close monitoring of both the mother and the neonates. Further research is warranted to evaluate the effectiveness of anemia correction strategies in reducing obstetric burden.
