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

Background: The effects of short-term air pollution exposure on hospital admissions for premature rupture of membranes (PROM) were still controversial. Methods: Daily data on PROM hospitalisations and air pollutants were collected from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2021, across five cities in the North China Plain. We investigated the associations between short-term (lag0-7) exposure to air pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM Results: A total of 16 503 mothers with PROM were included. For each interquartile range (IQR) increase, the strongest relative risks (RRs) were 1.024 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.001-1.047, P < 0.05) in PM Conclusions: Short-term air pollution exposure was related to elevated hospital risk of PROM. The effects were more pronounced among mothers aged <35 years and during the warm season.
