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

aimThe study was conducted to assess the prevalence of high-risk pregnancy (HRP) cases among pregnant women visiting the Prabhakar Kore Hospital (PKH) at Belagavi, Karnataka for antenatal care (ANC) and determination of the level of risk in the identified cases. MATERIALS &

methodsData were collected as a part of a screening procedure of a nutrition supplement clinical trial on pregnant women [Study title: Maternal DHA Supplementation and offspring Neurodevelopment in India (DHANI)]. ANC case records including detailed notes on medical and obstetric history, physical examination, laboratory investigations of pregnant women with ≤ 20 weeks of gestational age were screened for known risk factors.

resultsA total of 11,686 new cases were registered for ANC between June 2016 through August 2017. Of these, 3379 (<20 weeks gestation) were screened out of 428 pregnant women, 12.6% pregnant women were found to be at risk, 40.2% (n=172) fell in the high-risk category. Most commonly reported risk factors were thyroid disorders (27.3%, hypothyroidism 17.3%; hyperthyroidism 10%), gestational diabetes (16.1%), bad obstetric history (12.6%) and anaemia (10.7%).

conclusionEarly identification of these at-risk mothers through a simple, practical, reliable and customized risk scoring schedule can ensure interventions either to control the risk causing factor or delivery of timely and appropriate care as and when needed. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Considering the disproportionate burden that high risk pregnancies pose on higher mortality rates and compromised quality of life for the cases which survive, early identification of these high risk cases (12.6% identified in this study) can have a significant impact on maternal and child health. The population negatively affected by at-risk pregnancies is only expected to increase in the near future in light of the rising trend of its known risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or being HIV-positive.
