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

introductionThere is a definite need to find a highly sensitive and specific, noninvasive, and cost-effective marker for prediction of preterm labor. We hypothesize that a measurement of adrenal gland volume can predict a preterm as well as a term labor. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwo hundred and sixty-eight pregnant women were enrolled in the study at 28-34 weeks' antenatal visit. Final analysis was done in 204. All of them were subjected to 2D ultrasonographic measurement of the corrected fetal adrenal gland volume (cFAGV) and fetal adrenal zone parameters including the width ratio and depth ratio. The cohort was followed up to term, and a reassessment of cFAGV and fetal adrenal zone parameters was repeated between 37 and 39 weeks. Women who presented with features of preterm labor had a scan at the time of presentation to record cFAGV and fetal adrenal zone parameters.

resultsWomen, who developed features of preterm labor eventually, had a significantly high cFAGV (404.70 mm

conclusion2D ultrasound measurement of fetal adrenal gland parameters can be used as a marker for prediction of preterm delivery. cFAGV at term can also be used to predict the possibility of spontaneous onset of labor.
