Length of stay in the ward following a preeclamptic pregnancy.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To date, data on postpartum management of preeclampsia including the optimal time for discharge are limited. The aims of this study were to investigate the appropriate time for discharge after delivery, and factors that could affect the time for discharge. Data on 210 preeclamptic women including the severity or time of onset and days in the ward after delivery were collected and analysed. In total, 167 (73%) patients were followed up for at least 16 months and none of them developed any complications after delivery. The mean days in the ward after delivery in preeclamptic women with vaginal delivery or with caesarean section was 3.4 or 5.8 days, respectively. After adjusting for delivery modes and parity, women with severe or early onset preeclampsia or preeclamptic women complicated with IUGR were in the ward longer than women with mild or late onset of preeclampsia or preeclamptic women without IUGR. In addition, women with severe preeclampsia or with IUGR delayed the time for blood pressure to return to normal range. Our descriptive data reported that preeclamptic women stayed in the ward for 4-6 days after delivery, dependent on the delivery modes. Preeclamptic women with severe or early onset form or complicated with IUGR delayed the improvement of clinical symptoms after delivery. We further found that women with severe preeclampsia, and preeclampsia complicated with IUGR delayed blood pressure returning to normal range. These pre-discharge checklists may help obstetricians and midwives decide when to discharge.
