Evaluating the predictive value of fetal Doppler indices and neonatal outcome in late-onset preeclampsia with severe features: a cross-sectional study in a resource-limited setting.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundPreeclampsia constitutes a major health problem with substantial maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to detect the diagnostic efficacy of fetal Doppler in predicting adverse outcomes in severe late onset preeclampsia (LOP).
methodsA prospective study was conducted among childbearing women who presented with severe LOP and matched controls. Umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler indices including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) were measured.
resultsAll UA indices were significantly higher in the case group compared to the controls (p < 0.001). UA PI and RI were significantly correlated with all neonatal adverse outcomes except cord pH status (p < 0.05). Abnormal CPR was the most sensitive index that positively correlated with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), low 5- minute Apgar score and neonatal intensive care unit admission (79, 72.8 and 73.3%, respectively). In the same context, Abnormal UA PI and RI represented the most specific tool for predicting IUGR, low 1- and 5- minutes Apgar score with positive predictive values were 52, 87 and 57%, respectively.
conclusionIn severe LOP, UA Doppler remains the preferential indicator for adverse birth outcomes with CPR is the best index that could be solely used for predicting such outcome.
