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

objectiveTo determine the clinical value of uterine artery Doppler Pulsatility index (PI) at 22-24 + 6 weeks scan and importance of maternal history and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the prediction of pre-eclampsia. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a prospective screening study of 200 women with singleton pregnancy. Maternal history and blood pressure were recorded, and MAP was calculated. Transabdominal Doppler ultrasound of uterine artery was performed. Mean PI was calculated, and the presence or the absence of bilateral early diastolic notch was noted. Women were then followed up through pregnancy and delivery for the development of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and SGA.

resultsThe mean ± SD PI value for subjects who had an adverse pregnancy outcome was significantly higher (0.84 ± 0.28) than mean ± SD PI value for subjects who had normal pregnancy outcome (0.71 ± 0.16) with P value <0.000.

conclusionSecond trimester uterine artery Doppler is a useful screening method for identification of high risk pregnancy in women who can be kept under close surveillance for better maternal and neonatal outcome. This test works better when combined with previous history of pre-eclampsia and MAP.
