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

objectivePreeclampsia (PE) occurs in 4.6% of pregnancies worldwide. The social phenomenon of increasing maternal age has raised the demand for donor oocytes. Egg donation has allowed women with poor ovarian reserve, premature ovarian failure, genetic disorders or surgical menopause to get pregnant. Recipients provide a unique model of immune response because of the differences in the genetic makeup of mothers and fetuses. In PE, immune tolerance may be impaired as a result of having non-autologous eggs implanted. Egg donation is a highly successful assisted reproductive technology, despite the significant number of issues arising from the implantation of non-autologous eggs. This study aimed to determine whether there is an association between egg donation and preeclampsia.

methodsA systematic review of the literature available in PubMed and Google Scholar was carried out from January of 1995 to August of 2016 using the terms 'oocyte donation, preeclampsia', 'oocyte donation, in vitro fertilization, preeclampsia', 'oocyte donation, preeclampsia, outcomes pregnancies', 'oocyte donation, obstetric outcome.' Only six retrospective cohort studies met the selection criteria.

resultsThe meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant association between egg donation and onset of preeclampsia (OR 4.50; 95% CI: 3.28-6.19; p<0.0001).

conclusionOocyte donation is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia in singleton pregnancies. Therefore, it is crucial to properly record and assess this finding when egg donation is the chosen assisted reproductive technology to attain pregnancy.
