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

objectiveMany of the medical risk factors for adverse birth outcomes (e.g., preeclampsia) are regularly monitored in prenatal care. However, many of the psychosocial risk factors associated with adverse birth outcomes (e.g., maternal stress, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence) are not regularly addressed during routine prenatal care. Comprehensive prenatal screening for psychosocial risk factors for adverse birth outcomes can improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. In this study, we examine an existing tool for opportunities to streamline and improve screening.

methodsWe reviewed medical records for 528 mother-infant dyads, recording maternal responses to a 21-item prenatal risk screening tool, and gestational age/birth weight of infants. Multiple approaches to scoring were used to predict likelihood of adverse birth outcome.

resultsWomen who answered yes to any of the top four interrelated items were 3.32 times more likely to have an adverse birth outcome. Sensitivity and specificity were 68% and 65%, respectively. CONCLUSION FOR PRACTICE: We identified a short surveillance tool to identify women who are at highest risk and require more in-depth screening, and to rule out women who are at very low risk of an adverse birth outcome.
