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

backgroundObstetric cholestasis is a condition occurring in pregnancy with suspected adverse perinatal outcomes. Stillbirth is a significant adverse event associated with obstetric cholestasis and considered for intervention in pregnancy.

objectivesThere are multiple studies with epidemiological data with regards to the outcomes of obstetric cholestasis. Our hypothesis is to the test the association of stillbirth and related outcomes in obstetric cholestasis. SEARCH STRATEGY & SELECTION CRITERIA: Two independent reviewers did independent searches and selection with a standardized design as outlined in the PRISMA statement. ANALYSIS: The retrieved relevant literature was subjected to a rigorous quality assessment and followed by standardized interpretable results.

resultsThe pooled estimate in this study showed that there was no significant difference in the stillbirth rates in the obstetric (OC) population when compared to the non-obstetric cholestasis (reference) population. However, there was an increased risk of preterm birth in the OC population compared to the reference population; however, the cesarean section and induction of labor results were directly related. DISCUSSION: This study provides an epidemiological data related to the perinatal outcomes associated with obstetric cholestasis, specifically stillbirth. This result is likely to produce a benchmark for current evidence-based practice and to assist future research in understanding the implication of associated stillbirth risk and related outcomes with OC.
