Assessment of prevalence of preeclampsia from Dilla region of Ethiopia.
Article in BMC research notes, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05091827 (Assessment of the Cardiovascular Risk Profile of Infants Exposed to Pre-eclampsia in Utero), which is not on this map. Cited by 40 papers, 11 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPreeclampsia is a multi-organ system disorder that occurs after the 20th week of gestation in pregnancy and is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. In Africa more than 270,000 women die from maternal deaths, worldwide approximately 76,000 women and 500,000 babies die yearly due to preeclampsia. It affects about 8-10% of all pregnancies. Studies have shown that up to 77% women affected with preeclampsia lack knowledge about preeclampsia, and therefore cannot take preventative measures. The aim of study is to evaluate the outcomes and quality of care given to preeclamptic patients treated in Dilla University Referral Hospital.
methodsThe study is a retrospective, hospital based study. One hundred and seventy two records of women were retained for final study out of 7702 patients from January 2009 to December 2012.
resultsThe incidence rate of preeclampsia in Dilla University Referral Hospital was found to be 2.23%. The common mean ages found to be affected for preeclampsia were 19.2, 22.5 and 27.8 and 31.5 with a trend towards increasing severity with younger age population.
conclusionA guideline on the management and prevention of preeclampsia needs to be produced for Ehiopia.
