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

Key Clinical Message: HELLP syndrome is a complicated disorder associated with many unknown complications, which ischemic colitis might be one of. Timely diagnosis and prompt management with multidisciplinary approach is the key for a favorable outcome. Abstract: HELLP syndrome is a triad of hemolysis (H), elevated liver enzymes (EL), and low platelet count (LP) which is considered a rare but serious pregnancy complication. HELLP syndrome is mainly associated with pre-eclampsia, but can also occur individually. It may cause maternal and fetal mortality and some life-threatening morbidity. The best management considered for HELLP syndrome is immediate delivery in most cases. We report a 32-week pregnant woman with pre-eclampsia who developed HELLP syndrome shortly after admission which led to a preterm cesarean section. Rectal bleeding and diarrhea started the day after delivery, and all the workups and imaging suggested ischemic colitis. She received intensive care and supportive management. The patient recovered and was discharged uneventfully. HELLP syndrome may be associated with many unknown complications, and ischemic colitis might be one of them. Timely diagnosis and prompt management with a multidisciplinary approach is the key to a favorable outcome.
