Nomogram model for predicting spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies: a case-control study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify independent factors and develop a nomogram for spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies.
methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 218 women with twin pregnancies from Jiaxing Women and Children's Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University between June 2021 and May 2024 were enrolled. Univariate analysis and subsequent multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify independent factors. A nomogram prediction model was constructed using R software and evaluated by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), concordance index (C-index), and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsUnivariate analysis identified body mass index (BMI) at delivery, cervical length during the second trimester, cervical funnel, gestational vaginitis, gestational diabetes mellitus and prenatal hemoglobin levels as factors associated with spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies (P < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis confirmed BMI at delivery (OR = 0.887), cervical length during the second trimester (OR = 0.886), and gestational vaginitis (OR = 2.909) as independent predictors. The prediction model demonstrated good performance, with a C-index of 0.838 for the nomogram and an AUC of 0.838 from the ROC curve. DCA indicated the model provided net clinical benefit across a wide range of threshold probabilities.
conclusionA nomogram incorporating BMI at delivery, cervical length during the second trimester, and gestation vaginitis status effectively predicts spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies. This practical tool may aid in individualized risk assessment and guide clinical management.
