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 aim of this study to determine maternal adiponectin and leptin levels as biomarkers of pre-eclampsia and compare adiponectin and leptin ratio. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a prospective study. The enrolled women were divided into two groups: first, study group (

main outcome measuresMaternal serum adiponectin and leptin levels and their ratio were compared in pre-eclamptic (study group) and normotensive (control group) women.

resultsAdiponectin levels were insignificantly higher in study group than control group. Leptin levels in study group were significantly higher than control group (

conclusionMaternal leptin-level estimation should be integrated into the investigations for pre-eclampsia, and a cut-off level of > 23.3 ng/ml should be used as a biomarker for diagnosis. Adiponectin-leptin ratio should be considered as a biomarker for PE and should be determined in all cases of pre-eclampsia, and a cut-off of < 0.153 should be used for diagnosis.
