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

backgroundLeptin is a polypeptide hormone that may be implicated in the pathogenesis of various disorders during pregnancy. We sought to determine serum leptin levels among pregnant women and their fetuses and to investigate their association with fetal and maternal variables.

method452 pregnant women who attended to labor ward between January 2020 and August 2020 were included in the study. Serum leptin concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Mann-Whitney

resultsThe median maternal and fetal serum leptin levels were 6.42 [4.16-8.51] ng/mL and 2.9 [1.03-5.36] ng/mL respectively. There was no significant correlation between maternal and fetal serum leptin levels (

conclusionMaternal serum leptin levels were influenced by maternal BMI, parity and labor. Fetal serum leptin levels were higher among LGA fetuses and in fetuses with PPROM.
