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

objectivesTo compare the maternal hemodynamic profile at 12 + 0 to 15 + 6 weeks' gestation in women who subsequently developed pre-eclampsia (PE) and those who did not, and to assess the screening performance of maternal hemodynamic parameters for PE in combination with the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) triple test, including maternal factors (MF), mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index and placental growth factor.

methodsThis was a prospective case-control study involving Chinese women with a singleton pregnancy who underwent preterm PE screening at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation using the FMF triple test, between February 2020 and February 2023. Women identified as being at high risk (≥ 1:100) for preterm PE by the FMF triple test were matched 1:1 with women identified as low risk (< 1:100) for maternal age ± 3 years, maternal weight ± 5 kg and date of screening ± 14 days. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography was performed at 12 + 0 to 15 + 6 weeks to evaluate maternal hemodynamic parameters (heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR)). Maternal hemodynamic parameters were expressed as multiples of the median (MoM) values, determined by linear regression models to adjust for gestational age (GA) and MF. The distribution of log

resultsA total of 743 cases were analyzed, of whom 39 (5.2%) subsequently developed PE, including 29 (3.9%) cases of preterm PE and 10 (1.3%) cases of term PE. Mean log

conclusionsWomen with preterm PE or any-onset PE exhibited increased SVR and decreased CO before the clinical manifestations of PE became apparent. These changes may serve as early indicators of cardiovascular maladaptation. However, assessment of maternal hemodynamics at 12 + 0 to 15 + 6 weeks does not enhance the screening performance for preterm PE and any-onset PE of these parameters. The FMF triple test remains superior to other biomarker combinations for predicting PE. © 2025 The Author(s).
