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

introductionMany female teenagers in low-resource settings conceive, of which half are unplanned and end in many deaths in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for the majority of the cases. Teenage pregnancy is associated sometimes with poor maternal, newborn, and child deaths.

objectivesThe aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, maternal obstetric outcomes, and factors associated with poor maternal obstetric outcomes among teenage mothers delivering at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study carried out in a maternity ward at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, where 9,200 mothers deliver annually. All the women coming in for the delivery of their babies were consecutively approached for inclusion in the study. The women were enrolled in the post-delivery ward after delivery and interviewed with pretested questionnaires to capture the sociodemographic, obstetric, and medical profiles of the mothers. Factors were significant if the p

conclusionsSlightly more than half of the teenage mothers had adverse maternal obstetrical outcomes, and a history of a miscarriage in previous pregnancies was significantly associated with adverse maternal obstetrical outcomes. Having a cesarean delivery was found to significantly reduce the occurrence of adverse maternal obstetric events among the participants. Teenage mothers are at a high risk of adverse maternal obstetrical outcomes, and close antepartum and intrapartum surveillance is recommended.
