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

backgroudThe role of maternal hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) in the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is unclear.

methodsStudies were retrieved through literature searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library up to May 5, 2016 without language restrictions. Cohort or case-control studies that reported the association of maternal hypertensive disorders and retinopathy of prematurity were eligible. Either a fixed- or a random-effects model was used to calculate the overall combined risk estimates.

resultsThirteen cohort studies involving a total of 45082 individuals were included in the review. The pooled odds ratios of maternal hypertensive disorders in pregnancy for any stage and severe stages of ROP was 1.12 (95%CI: 0.90-1.40) and 0.80 (95%CI: 0.47-1.35), respectively. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that no single study qualitatively influenced the pooled OR. However, substantial heterogeneity and publication bias were observed in the meta-analysis.

conclusionsAdditional larger, prospective and well-adjusted studies are needed to determine the association between HDP and ROP, especially regarding the effects of different types of maternal hypertensive disorders in pregnancy on retinopathy of prematurity.
