Comparison of the Effect of Injection Enoxaparin Versus Conventional Treatment on Amniotic Fluid Index in Borderline Oligohydramnios in Third Trimester of Pregnancy: A Randomized Control Trial in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Oligohydramnios is defined as amniotic fluid index (AFI) less than or equal to 5cm. A borderline AFI has been defined as an AFI of 5.1cm to 8cm. The incidence of borderline AFI compared with a normal AFI (8.1cm to 18cm) is 6% to 44% in different studies. A decrease in amniotic fluid leads to serious complications for the mother and fetus. The study objective was to evaluate if an injection of Enoxaparin improves the amount of liquor in oligohydramnios in the third trimester of pregnancy. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary care obstetric center, involving a total of 130 participants. Inclusion criteria include participant in 3 Results: In group A, the AFI increased after treatment in 47(72.3%) patients, remained static in 6(9.2%) patients, and decreased in 12(18.4%) patients. Whereas in group B, AFI increased in 31(68.8%) patients and decreased in 14(31.3%) patients, p= 0.334. Conclusion: The findings in the current study did not demonstrate any significant effect of the use of injection enoxaparin in improving borderline oligohydramnios. Further research is needed to apply this research to the general population.
