Association of maternal birth weight and maternal preterm birth with subsequent risk for adverse reproductive outcomes: The Women's Health Initiative.

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
backgroundAdvancements in medical technology and pharmacologic interventions have drastically improved survival of infants born preterm and low birth weight, but knowledge regarding the long-term health impacts of these individuals is limited and inconsistent.
aimTo investigate whether an individual's birthweight or history of being born preterm increases the risk of an adverse reproductive outcome. STUDY
designNested case-control study within the Women's Health Initiative. SUBJECTS: 79,934 individuals who self-reported their personal birthweight category and/or preterm birth status. OUTCOMES MEASURES: Self-reported pregnancy outcomes: subfertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preterm birth, low birthweight infant, high birthweight infant. Logistic regression models were used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR).
resultsAfter adjustments, individuals reporting their birthweight <6lbs. were 20 % more likely to have a stillbirth or 70 % more likely to have a low birthweight infant and were less likely to have a full-term birth or high birthweight infant during their pregnancy. Individuals reporting a birthweight ≥10 lbs. were more likely to have a high birthweight infant (OR 3.49, 95 % CI 2.73-4.39) and less likely to have a low birthweight infant (OR 0.64, 95 % CI 0.47-0.82). Individuals born preterm were at increased risk for infertility, miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and delivering a preterm or low birthweight infant.
conclusionsAs more individuals born preterm and/or low birthweight survive to adulthood, the incidence and prevalence of poor reproductive outcomes may increase. Women born at extremes of birthweight and prematurity may need to be monitored more closely during their own pregnancies.
