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

backgroundThe cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is emerging as a predictor for adverse perinatal outcome in term pregnancies. Earlier, it has shown a role in small for gestational age (SGA) pregnancies, but a proportion of appropriate for gestational age foetuses (AGA) despite of good size have impaired growth velocity and are thereby at risk of adverse outcome. CPR has implication for assessment of well being of SGA and AGA foetuses close to term.

objectiveTo investigate the association between foetal CPR and adverse perinatal outcome in uncomplicated term AGA pregnancies.

methodsThis was a prospective observational study done in Department of Obstetric and Gynaecology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, over a period of one year. Women > 37 week singleton pregnancy with no known risk factor who had Doppler USG done within a week of delivery were included. CPR was calculated by dividing the Doppler indices of middle cerebral artery (MCA) by umbilical artery (MCA PI/UA PI). CPR < 1 was taken as abnormal. These patients were followed up till delivery to look for various perinatal outcomes. Results Out of 127 low-risk AGA pregnancies who went for USG colour Doppler scan, 117 patients who met our inclusion criteria were analysed; out of 117 patients 23(i.e. 19.65 %) were having CPR < 1 and 94 patients (i.e. 80.34%) were having CPR>1. Among 23 patients with CPR < 1, 22 (91.30%) had adverse outcome as compared to only 20.21% patients with CPR > 1, and this is found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001).

conclusionOur study found CPR measure to be a very promising tool for optimising the identification of at risk foetus in low-risk AGA pregnancies.
