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 examine the relationship between duration of fetal hypoxia, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, and fetal growth.

methodsPregnant rats were exposed to a severe hypoxia (9.5%-10% O

resultsAs the duration of hypoxia increased, fetal weight, liver weight, blood bicarbonate, and base excess levels decreased significantly; concomitantly, NRBC counts increased. This increase in NRBCs became statistically significant after 24 hours of exposure. After 48 hours of hypoxia there was a 2.5-fold rise in NRBC count, and after 120 hours of hypoxia there was a 4.5-fold rise in NRBC count over control levels. After 12 or more hours of hypoxia, fetal body weights were significantly reduced; 120 hours of hypoxia resulted in a 35% reduction in fetal body weight, a 34% reduction in fetal liver weight, and 356% increase in NRBC count.

conclusionIn a pregnant rat model, chronic maternal hypoxia (≥24 hours) results in a significant increase in fetal NRBC counts as well as reduced fetal body weight and organ growth.
