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

Objective: Little is known about outcomes of subsequent gestation following a pregnancy complicated by previable/periviable preterm prelabor rupture of membrane (pPPROM). The objective of this study is to describe outcomes in subsequent gestation after a pregnancy complicated by pPPROM. Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of the subsequent pregnancy for patients with a history of pPPROM (rupture of membranes < 23 weeks) in the previous gestation of our institution from 2013 to 2022. All pregnancies were dated by ultrasound prior to pPPROM in the initial cohort. No anomalous fetuses were seen in this cohort. Subsequent pregnancies continuing beyond 13 weeks and 6 days were included in the analysis. Our primary outcome was gestational age (GA) at delivery in the subsequent pregnancy. Secondary outcomes included recurrent preterm birth (PTB), recurrent PPROM, and recurrent pPPROM. Secondary analysis was performed comparing patients delivering preterm versus term in subsequent pregnancy, and excluding patients missing delivery data or with loss < 14 weeks. Results: Of 100 patients with pPPROM, 42 patients (42%) had a subsequent pregnancy. Out of 42, 36 (85.7%) reached second trimester, 5 (11.9%) had first trimester loss, including one ectopic pregnancy of four spontaneous abortions at < 12 weeks, and one was lost to follow-up. Median GA at delivery in the subsequent pregnancy ( Conclusion: In patients with prior pPPROM with subsequent pregnancy continuing beyond the first trimester, more than two-thirds delivered at term in the subsequent pregnancy. However, recurrent previable PPROM occurred in 5.6% of patients. No clear risk factors for recurrent PTB (beyond PTB history) were identified in this cohort.
