Temporal changes in fetal death risk in pregnancies with preeclampsia: Does offspring birthweight matter? A population study.
Article in European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectivesTo study the associations of preeclampsia with fetal death risk within percentiles of offspring birthweight, and whether these associations have changed during 1967-2014. STUDY
designIn this population study, we included all singleton pregnancies in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway during 1967-2014 (n = 2 607 199). Odds ratios (ORs) for fetal death associated with preeclampsia were estimated within percentiles of birthweight by applying logistic regression analyses. We estimated ORs for the study period as a whole, and for the years 1967-1983 and 1984-2014.
resultsDuring the study period as a whole, preeclampsia increased the risk of fetal death, OR 2.73 (95% CI 2.57-2.89), and the fetal death risk associated with preeclampsia differed across percentiles of offspring birthweight. The overall risk of fetal death decreased during our study period, and the decrease was most prominent in preeclamptic pregnancies with low offspring birthweight (<1 percentile). Thus, in recent years, the risk of fetal death in pregnancies with low offspring birthweight was lower in preeclamptic than in non-preeclamptic pregnancies, OR 0.22 (95% CI 0.12-0.41). Only in pregnancies with offspring birthweight within the 10-90 percentiles, the risk of fetal death associated with preeclampsia remained significantly increased throughout the study period.
conclusionsThe decline in fetal death risk was most prominent in preeclamptic pregnancies with low offspring birthweight. The introduction of a national screening program for preeclampsia in the 1980s, and identification of growth restricted offspring by fetal ultrasonography, may explain our findings.
