Maternal fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio for predicting delivery of small and large for gestational age infants: a pilot study.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this pilot study was to investigate associations between fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (FHR) of mothers and the risk of delivering large/small for gestational age (LGA/SGA) infants and to evaluate the predictive power of FHR on LGA/SGA.
methodsThis study retrospectively reviewed 11,657 consecutive women whose lipid profiles and FDP levels were investigated at the time of admission for delivery at a specialized hospital. The FHR was calculated, and perinatal outcomes, including clinical parameters, were analyzed.
resultsThe prevalence of SGA was 9% (n = 1034), and that of LGA was 15% (n = 1806) in this cohort study. FHR was significantly lower in women who delivered SGA infants (4.0 ± 3.2 vs. 4.7 ± 3.3 mg/mmol, P < 0.01) and higher in women who delivered LGA infants (5.7 ± 3.8 vs. 4.7 ± 3.3 mg/mmol, P < 0.01) compared with those who delivered infants of normal size for their gestational age. Women in the top quartile for FHR (> 5.9 mg/mmol) had a 2.9-fold higher risk of delivering LGA infants [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.9, P < 0.01] and a 47% lower risk of delivering SGA infants (adjusted OR = 0.47, P < 0.01) than those in the bottom quartile (< 2.7 mg/mmol). In addition, adding FHR to the conventional models significantly improved the area under the curve for the prediction of delivering LGA (0.725 vs. 0.739, P < 0.01) and SGA (0.717 vs. 0.727, P < 0.01) infants.
conclusionThese findings suggest that the FHR calculated in late pregnancy is an innovative predictor of delivering LGA and SGA infants. Combining FHR with perinatal parameters could thus enhance the predictive ability for predicting the delivery of LGA/SGA infants.
