Gestational week-specific of uterine artery Doppler indices in predicting preeclampsia: a hospital-based retrospective cohort study.

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
backgroundPlenty of studies explored the relationship between uterine artery (UtA) Doppler indices and the onset of preeclampsia at different trimesters. However, few studies test the gestational week-specific predictive value of the UtA indices for subsequent preeclampsia and compare the difference of right or left UtA indices (e.g., pulsatility or resistance index [PI or RI]).
methodsHospital-based retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnant women who received the Doppler test between 2012 and 2016 was conducted in 2018. The predictive performance of the UtA indices for preeclampsia and its variants, including early-onset preeclampsia (< 34 weeks) and preterm preeclampsia (< 37 weeks), was estimated.
resultsThe UtA indices, with a cutoff value of 1.11 for the right and left UtA-PI, and 0.66 and 0.63 for the right and left UtA-RI, respectively, were effective predictors for subsequent preeclampsia. The prediction was satisfactory at the 9
conclusionsThe second-trimester measured UtA indices had a satisfactory performance at the 9
