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 evaluate materno-fetal outcomes in pregnant women with jaundice.

methodsA prospective study was conducted over a period of 6 months in a tertiary care hospital of Delhi, India. 82 pregnant women with jaundice were included. The serum was screened for viral markers, liver function tests, and coagulation status.

resultsThe mean age of women was 27.3 ± 4.3 years. 43.9 % (n = 36) women were HEV positive, 36 % (n = 27) HBsAg positive, 4 % (n = 3) HAV positive and 1.3 % (n = 1) HCV positive. Intrahepatic cholestasis was diagnosed in 10.8 % (n = 8) of women. Maternal morbidity was evaluated in terms of chorioamnionitis (5.4 %, n = 3), encephalopathy (26.8 %, n = 15), and coagulopathy (67.9 %, n = 38). There were five maternal deaths, and all were unbooked with HEV-positive status and a bilirubin >15 mg/dl with deranged coagulogram and encephalopathy and IUDs. 79 women delivered vaginally, and three had cesarean section. Of the vaginal deliveries, 59.8 % (n = 49) went into spontaneous labor, and 25.5 % (n = 21) were induced for varied reasons (BPS < 6/10 (38 %, n = 8)) and progressive derangement of LFT (38 %, n = 8). Among the 71 deliveries, 29 (40.8 %) were IUD and 42 (59.1 %) were live born. On analyzing the morbidity data, it was found that HEV-positive women (deranged coagulogram 71.05 %, IUD 75.86 %, encephalopathy 80 %) had a poorer outcome as compared to their HBsAg positive counterparts (deranged coagulogram 10.52 %, IUD 13.79 %, encephalopathy 6.66 %).

conclusionUrgent redressal of issues pertaining to sanitation and provision for clean drinking water for citizens of India is the need of the hour as HEV is fecooral in transmission.
