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

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder with maternal and neonatal complications. Many studies are done regarding the prevalence of pre-eclampsia in Nepal but ascertaining the maternal risk factors and fetal outcomes are important. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of a tertiary care hospital from 13 July 2023 to 29 September 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 5065 patient, pre-eclampsia was seen in 44 (0.87%) (0.61-1.13, 95% Confidence Interval). A total of 16 (36.36%) cases of pre-eclampsia were in the age group 25-29 years and 30 (68.18%) of them were nulliparous. A total of 38 (86.36%) of the newborns of the pre-eclamptic cases had low birth weight. The APGAR score of newborns at the 1 minute after birth was 26 (59.09%) followed by the newborns who needed re-evaluation 16 (36.36%). The APGAR score recorded at 5 minutes showed maximum newborns with normal APGAR score 40 (90.90%). Conclusions: The prevalence of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women was found to be lower than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: maternity; Nepal; pre-eclampsia; prevalence.
