Maternal Serum High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) as a Prognostic Marker of Fetomaternal Outcome in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: A Novel 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
introductionHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a group of obstetric disorders causing profound fetomaternal compromise, leading to adverse obstetric outcomes. High-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP), an inflammatory marker of systemic inflammation, is elevated in HDP and correlates with the severity of the disease. However, prediction and prevention of HDP and its associated fetomaternal complications remain elusive to most obstetricians. The present study aimed to evaluate the use of hsCRP as a prognostic marker of adverse fetomaternal outcome in HDP.
methodsThe study included 132 third-trimester pregnancies with HDP who underwent hsCRP quantification at the time of presentation to the out-patient department and followed up till delivery. HsCRP quantification was done using immunoturbidimetry method.
resultsOf the 132 cases studied, 72 had normal hsCRP levels while the remaining 60 had raised hsCRP levels. It was observed that patients with raised hsCRP levels had poorer fetomaternal outcomes at delivery as compared to those with normal hsCRP levels. Conclusion: The obstetric outcomes of patients with HDP worsened with increasing levels of hsCRP, as shown in our study, when compared to normotensive patients. Thus, hsCRP delivers promising results as a prognostic marker of adverse fetomaternal outcomes in patients of HDP.
