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

Several professional societies have published guidelines on twin pregnancies over the past few years. These documents provide recommendations on antenatal surveillance and management of twin pregnancies. At the same time, these guidelines identify several key areas where evidence is limited and additional research is needed. In the present review, we summarize available evidence regarding some of these key areas, including the screening and prevention of preterm birth, the definition and management of fetal growth restriction, the diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes, the optimal maternal gestational weight gain, and the mode and timing of delivery. In addition, we describe several online tools related to these areas that can empower individuals with twin pregnancies and assist care providers in counseling these patients.
