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

Introduction: Smoking during pregnancy (SDP) seems to paradoxically decrease the likelihood of preeclampsia. We aimed to investigate the association between smoking and isolated proteinuria during pregnancy. In addition, we investigated the associations and potential interaction between smoking and proteinuria on the risk for preterm birth. Methods: The study included all women with singleton pregnancies ( Results: Of the participants, 14.6% were smokers, of which 36.9% quit smoking; 2534 (0.3%) had a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria. Those who quit smoking (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14-1.52) and those who continued smoking (OR = 1.29, 95% CI=1.15-1.46) were associated with having a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria. Isolated proteinuria (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.03-1.49) and those who continued smoking (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.40-1.50) were associated with preterm birth. The interaction of smoking and isolated proteinuria with preterm birth lacked statistical significance. Conclusion: We found evidence of an association between smoking and the diagnosis of isolated proteinuria. Furthermore, smoking and a diagnosis of isolated proteinuria were both associated with a higher risk for preterm birth.
