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.

Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are one of the leading causes of poor pregnancy outcomes and are associated with increased rates of maternal mortality, preterm birth, small for gestational age newborns, stillbirth, and neonatal death. The overall and type-specific prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and associated pregnancy outcomes are unknown in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this review aimed to identify the prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and associated pregnancy outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on observational facility-based studies irrespective of publication status, sample size, language, and follow-up duration from 19 countries between the years 2000 and 2018 in Sub-Saharan Africa. A review of studies using PubMed, EMBASE, African Index Medicus, and African Journals Online was completed with independent extraction of studies by review authors using the predefined inclusion criteria. Quality and risk of bias of individual studies were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. Random effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and type-specific hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. A pooled adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval for each study was calculated using comprehensive meta-analysis version 2 software to estimate the association of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and its outcomes. The existence of heterogeneity was assessed using I
