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

Objective: To examine potential alterations in maternal cardiovascular parameters in hypertensive pregnancies with or without fetal growth restriction (FGR) in comparison to uncomplicated normotensive pregnancies, and to determine the correlation between maternal cardiovascular parameters and changes in umbilical and uterine artery circulation. Materials and methods: This study enrolled 73 pregnant women starting from the 20th week of gestation, categorized into three groups: hypertensive conditions (pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia or eclampsia, n = 30), hypertensive conditions with FGR (n = 8) and a control group of healthy normotensive pregnant women (n = 35). All participants underwent echocardiography to assess cardiac output and calculate peripheral vascular resistance. Additionally, fetal biometric measurements and Doppler ultrasound examinations of the uterine and umbilical artery were performed. The results were standardized into gestational age-adjusted Results: The mean pulsatility index (PI) of the uterine artery (1.36, p < 0.001) and umbilical artery PI Conclusions: Maternal cardiac output exhibits a significant decrease whereas peripheral vascular resistance increases in hypertensive pregnancies, irrespective of the presence of FGR. Both uterine and umbilical artery PI notably increase when hypertensive pregnancies are accompanied by FGR. A positive correlation exists between maternal peripheral vascular resistance and uterine artery PI, as well as a negative correlation between maternal cardiac output and uterine artery PI. However, changes in maternal cardiovascular parameters do not exhibit significant correlations with umbilical artery PI.
