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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and to investigate the correlation with changes in the gestational sac and embryo development, and miscarriage prevention as outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 pregnant women with RSA treated at Hulunbeier People's Hospital between January 2022 and January 2023. Among them, 52 patients received LMWH therapy (observation group), while 48 received routine treatment (control group). Serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone (P), estradiol (E2), and coagulation markers (D-dimer [D-D], plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 [PAI-1], and fibrinogen), as well as gestational sac diameter (GSD), embryo length (EL), and uterine artery blood flow resistance, were assessed before and after treatment. Pregnancy outcome and adverse reaction rate were recorded and compared. Patients were categorized into successful and unsuccessful groups based on miscarriage prevention outcomes, and differences in GSD and EL were analyzed. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors influencing miscarriage prevention.

resultsBaseline hCG, P, E2, D-D, PAI-1, fibrinogen, GSD, EL, and uterine artery blood flow resistance were comparable between groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, these measuremnts improved significantly, with greater changes in the observation group (all P<0.05). The term pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05), while adverse reaction rates were similar (P>0.05). The successful group exhibited significantly greater GSD and EL compared to the unsuccessful group (P<0.05). Logistic regression identified age, number of miscarriages, and LMWH use as independent factors influencing miscarriage prevention outcome (P<0.05).

conclusionsLMWH therapy significantly improves hormone levels, coagulation status, GSD, and EL in pregnant women with RSA, enhancing miscarriage prevention outcomes with minimal adverse reactions, making it a safe and effective treatment option for clinical practice.
