Uterine fibroids are associated with increased risk of pre-eclampsia: A case-control 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
Purpose: Uterine fibroids are associated with hypertension in non-pregnant women. We aimed to evaluate the association between uterine fibroids and pre-eclampsia (PE). Patients and methods: Participants were pregnant women who delivered in the Department of Obstetrics of the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region between January and December 2021. Patients with PE were identified as the case group, whereas those without PE were selected as the control group, using age-matching and a ratio of 1:5. Ultrasound examination during early pregnancy was used to detect uterine fibroids. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to evaluate the association between uterine fibroids and PE. Results: In total, 121 cases with PE and 578 controls without PE were included, with mean age of 32.9 years and gestational age of 37.7 weeks. Time of ultrasound examination was 12.0 ± 2.6 weeks. The case group had a significantly higher exposure rate of uterine fibroids than the control group (14.0 vs. 6.9%, Conclusion: Uterine fibroids are significantly associated with an increased risk of PE in pregnant women. Uterine fibroids may serve as a new factor for identifying pregnant women at high risk of PE, and the effect of myomectomy before pregnancy on prevention of PE is worth further exploring.
