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.

Abstract

backgroundSignificant changes occur in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems during pregnancy and puerperium in the plasma levels. However, reference ranges based on healthy people are not optimal for informing clinical decisions during the pregnancy and puerperium. Therefore, it is essential to explore coagulation assays' reference ranges during the pregnancy and puerperium.

methodsProthrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fib.), and D-dimer were all measured according to the manufacturer's specifications and laboratory standard operating procedure of the STA-R evolution coagulation analyzer. A total of 11,601 women were enrolled in this study.

resultsThe reference ranges for PT, APTT, TT, Fib., and D-dimer in nonpregnancy period were 10.87-13.76 s, 29.22-44.61 s, 15.39-20.15 s, 1.59-3.97 g/l, and 0-0.56 mg/l, respectively. In early-pregnancy period, the ranges were 11.14-14.07 s, 29.97-44.69 s, 14.92-19.03 s, 1.98-4.13 g/l, and 0-1.67 mg/l, respectively. In midpregnancy period, the ranges were 9.98-12.84 s, 28.53-40.70 s, 13.51-19.82 s, 2.63-5.19 g/l, and 0-2.81 mg/l, respectively. In late-pregnancy period, the ranges were 9.48-12.58 s, 28.61-40.80 s, 14.10-19.61 s, 2.80-5.56 g/l, and 0-27.08 mg/l, respectively. In puerperium period, the ranges were 10.85-13.72 s, 30.51-43.02 s, 15.31-19.64 s, 1.14-5.07 g/l, and 1.27-4.85 mg/l, respectively.

conclusionWe presented reference intervals for coagulation assays from the nonpregnancy to puerperium period that can be adopted in other laboratories after further validation.
