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

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common medical disorders complicating pregnancy. In India, high blood pressure contributes to 7.1% of maternal deaths. This study was carried out to describe the characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of patients presenting with eclampsia or pre-eclampsia to a secondary care hospital in rural India. Methods: Patients diagnosed with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia between January 2018 and April 2021 were identified and included in the study. Medical records were searched and general patient characteristics, obstetrical history, information about the antenatal period, mode of delivery and outcomes were documented and analysed. Results: Among the 3651 women who delivered in this hospital during this time period, 2.3% ( Conclusions: This study identified that in this setting the patients presenting with eclampsia were much higher than those presenting with pre-eclampsia which is in stark contrast to the status even in developing countries. This could be an important finding indicating poorer health-seeking behaviour among the population and will need more studies on various interventions to change this status.
