Prevalence and materno-fetal outcomes of preeclampsia/eclampsia among pregnant women in Nigeria: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundPreeclampsia and eclampsia (PE/E) are hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with significant morbidity and mortality for both mothers and fetuses. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PE/E, associated complications, and mortality rates in pregnant women in Nigeria using a systematic review and meta-analysis approach.
methodsA search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies published in English from electronic databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, AJOL, DOAJ and Cochrane Library. Studies investigating the prevalence of PE/E, associated complications, and mortality rates in pregnant women in Nigeria were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted using standardized tools. Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using random-effects models. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the I
resultsThe analysis revealed a pooled prevalence of 4.51% (95% CI 3.82-5.29) for preeclampsia and 1.39% (95% CI 1.02-1.84) for eclampsia in Nigerian pregnant women. Significant heterogeneity was observed for both PE (I
conclusionThis study identified a significant burden of PE/E and associated complications in Nigerian pregnant women. High maternal and fetal mortality rates highlight the critical need for improved strategies in Nigeria. Future research should focus on identifying Nigerian-specific risk factors and implementing standardized diagnostic criteria.
