Hospitalized late preterm mild preeclamptic patients with mature lung testing: what are the risks of delivery?
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the risk of elective delivery of hospitalized patients with isolated mild preeclampsia with mature fetal lung profile compared with a cohort of patients who had preeclampsia with indicated delivery matched for gestational age. STUDY
designPatients with mild preeclampsia requiring hospitalization between 34 and 37 weeks estimated gestational age were offered amniocentesis for assessment of fetal lung maturity. If fetal lung maturity was documented, patients were offered delivery. These cases were then compared with indicated or spontaneously delivered controls with preeclampsia matched for gestational age.
resultA total of 51 cases were identified and matched with 51 controls. Sixteen case neonates (31.4%) were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit compared with 21 controls (41.2%). Five cases (9.8%) in each group developed respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
conclusionElective delivery of mild preeclampsia with mature lung profiles in the late preterm gestation is not without neonatal risks, including a 10% risk of RDS in this series.
