Diagnostic value of random urine protein/creatinine ratio for preeclampsia.
Article in Practical laboratory medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The 24-h urine protein remains the gold standard to diagnose proteinuria in suspected preeclamptic patients. However, this test is time consuming and sometimes inaccurate. In this study, we aimed to analyse the correlation between the random urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) and 24-h urine protein and to explore the clinical value of UPCR in the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Method: We retrospectively evaluated 109 pregnant women from our hospital who had hypertensive diseases. They were grouped according to time of urine collection and disease severity to compare differences in random urine protein, urine creatinine, and UPCR. The correlation between the UPCR and 24-h urine protein was determined by Pearson's linear correlation. Results: We found no statistically significant differences in random urine protein, urine creatinine, or UPCR among the four time of sampling groups. Further, random urine protein, UPCR, and 24-h urine protein between the gestational hypertension and preeclampsia groups differed significantly ( Conclusion: This study indicated that UPCR is significantly correlated with 24-h urine protein and is expected to replace the 24-h urine protein test as a diagnostic indicator of preeclampsia.
