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 test the hypothesis that fetuses exposed to maternal preeclampsia or chronic hypertension have deranged development of cardiac time intervals. STUDY

designPregnancies were divided into three groups: Intrauterine Growth Restricted (IUGR), Hypertensive, and Normal. Each group's mean fetal cardiac time intervals (P, PR, QRS and RR) derived by magnetocardiography were calculated using an analysis of covariance model's regression-adjusted estimates for a gestational age of 35 weeks.

resultsWe reviewed 141 recordings from 21 IUGR, 46 Hypertensive and 74 Normal patients. The IUGR, Hypertensive and Normal groups, respectively, had adjusted mean intervals in milliseconds of 66.4, 66.8 and 76.2 for P (P=0.001), 95.9, 101.6 and 109.6 for PR (P=0.002), 77.2, 78.7 and 78.7 for QRS (P=0.81) and 429.8, 429.2 and 428.5 for RR (P=0.97).

conclusionP and PR intervals are abbreviated in normotrophic fetuses exposed to maternal hypertension, suggesting shortened atrioventricular conduction times.
