Cord insertion anomalies and adverse pregnancy outcomes: more than an incidental finding.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the importance of routine evaluation of cord insertion during the prenatal period. To this end, the perinatal outcomes of marginal and velamentous cord insertions were compared to normal cord insertions.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies delivered after 24 weeks between 2016 and 2023, comparing marginal and velamentous cord insertions diagnosed on second-trimester ultrasound with normal cord insertions in terms of preterm birth and adverse perinatal outcomes, after excluding cases with fetal anomalies, placenta previa, placental invasion, vasa previa, or multiple gestations.
resultsAmong 6,675 singleton pregnancies, 367 (5.5%) had marginal cord insertion and 45 (0.7%) had velamentous cord insertion. Marginal cord insertion was associated with a nearly threefold higher risk of preterm birth before 37 weeks, while no significant differences were observed for other adverse outcomes. In contrast, velamentous cord insertion was linked to significantly increased risks of preterm birth, primary cesarean delivery, low Apgar scores, and neonatal intensive care unit admission compared with normal cord insertions.
conclusionMarginal and velamentous cord insertions showed associations with preterm birth and certain adverse perinatal outcomes. Routine evaluation of cord insertion may provide useful information for clinical follow-up. CLINICAL
