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: There is a very little information known about CRP in term pregnancies. It is a marker that is easily tested and is inexpensive. Although CRP has been used very effectively in diagnosing infection in the neonate, its clinical use and values have not been studied in term pregnancies. The level of CRP that is truly normal or clinically innocuous is not known. Objectives: This is a cross-sectional study to compare the CRP levels in antenatal women with PROM and women with normal labor and assess its utility to predict sepsis. Methods: This is a prospective study done over a period of one year and approved by the insititutional ethical committee (IRB. Min. No 11102[OBSERVE] dated 10.01.2018). Sample for CRP was collected from 112 antenatal women with prelabor rupture of membranes within 12 hours of admission (Group A) and from 112 antenatal women in spontaneous labor without rupture of membrane (Group B). CRP samples are processed by nephelometry method. Results: The median CRP value in Group A is 9.15 and Group B is 7.26, with no statistical difference. Chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, and endometritis were similar in both the groups. Conclusion: CRP cannot be used as predictor for chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and neonatal sepsis. There was no significant difference in CRP levels between the two groups.
