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

objectivesAssessment of the maternal complications in molecularly confirmed diandric and digynic triploid pregnancies.

methodsSonographic features, biochemical results, and clinical presentation were analyzed. Beta-hCG level was controlled after diandric triploidy.

resultsThe study included nine diandric and twelve digynic triploid pregnancies at the mean gestational age at diagnosis of 14.9 and 18.0 weeks, respectively (p = 0.0391). Mean value of total-hCG was 979 703.6 U/ml in diandric cases and 5 455.4 U/ml in digynic ones (p < 0.000). Maternal complications occurred in 88.9% of diandric triploid pregnancies, including: thecalutein cysts (44.4%), hyperemesis gravidarum (44.4%), symptomatic hyperthyreosis (33.3%), early onset gestational hypertension (22.2%) and vaginal bleeding (11.1%). No case of proteinuria, preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome was observed. Only maternal complication observed in digynic triploidy was vaginal bleeding (50.0%). The mean time of beta-hCG normalization after diandric triploid pregnancies was 84 days (range 11-142 days). No case of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) was observed.

conclusionsMaternal complications (except for vaginal bleeding) are associated with diandric triploidy. The relatively low incidence of hypertensive maternal complications and their less severe course in our cohort may be attributed to the earlier prenatal diagnosis. The frequency of GTN after diandric triploidy may be lower than previously reported.
