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

backgroundProgesterone is essential for the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Any defect in the secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin or progesterone is associated with a significantly increased risk of first-trimester abortion. Progesterone is frequently prescribed to patients presenting with per vaginal (PV) bleeding in early pregnancy and a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.

methodsPregnant women up to 12 weeks of gestation with a history of more than two early pregnancy losses and presenting with vaginal bleeding were included in this study. All subjects were randomized to receive either vaginal progesterone 600 mg/day or oral dydrogesterone 30 mg/day. A detailed history-including menstrual history, previous pregnancies, previous miscarriages, and other risk factors-was obtained. The mean time required for the cessation of PV bleeding and continuation of pregnancy up to 24 weeks and till term was compared.

resultsA total of 200 patients were randomized to vaginal progesterone 600 mg/day (

conclusionOral dydrogesterone is preferred over vaginal progesterone in patients presenting with vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy and a history of recurrent early pregnancy loss.
