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

Although the assessment of the amniotic fluid volume in pregnancy is part of the fetal wellbeing surveillance, the impact of idiopathic polyhydramnios (IP) on maternal and perinatal outcomes in unknown. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association of IP with different maternal and perinatal outcomes. We screened five electronic databases until December 2023 and performed data extraction and quality assessment using ROBINS-E in duplicates. Pooled risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated with a random effects model. 38 studies were included. Patients with IP were at increased risk of perinatal complications including preterm delivery (RR 1.96, 95% CI 1.35-2.86; I
