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
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as the loss of pregnancy three or more consecutive times in the first and second trimester, which in some cases occurs due to immune abnormalities. This study aimed to assess some immunological parameters in women with recurrent miscarriages, including the level of antiphospholipid antibody (APA), anticardiolipin (ACA), antinuclear antibody (ANA), complement C3 and C4, and interleukine-3 (IL-3). We included 100 patients together with 100 healthy women as a control. ELIZA was used to measure some types of autoantibodies. APA and ACA significantly increased (P≤0.05) in patients compared to control. In addition, 29% of the patients were positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), while the control subjects had negative results for these autoantibodies. Regarding the complement, the serum levels of C3 and C4 were significantly elevated in the serum level of patients when compared to the control group, but in treated patients (heparin and low-dose aspirin), the levels of the complement (C3 and C4) showed a significant decrease in patients compared to total controls. Cytokine level (IL-3) significantly decreased in untreated patients 302.78 pg/ml compared to treated patients (741.57 pg/ml). Antiphospholipid antibodies are more prevalent among women with recurrent miscarriages and are also believed to be the result of abnormal autoimmune activation.
