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

Background: Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Various predictive methods exist, but none are without flaws. Risk factors vary in different women and at different gestational ages; hence, investigating non-modifiable factors, such as ABO and Rhesus blood groups, may aid prediction and early detection of preeclampsia. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between maternal ABO blood groups and preeclampsia. Design: This was a prospective cohort study. Methods: This study included singleton, normotensive, Rhesus-positive primigravidae with different ABO blood groups at <20 weeks of gestation. The primary outcome was the incidence of preeclampsia in mothers with Rhesus (D)-positive ABO blood groups (O, A, B and AB), while the secondary outcomes were the overall preeclampsia incidence and the odds ratio for preeclampsia between blood group O and non-O (A, B and AB) participants. Results: A total of 264 participants were enrolled, with 244 followed up until delivery. Eighteen participants developed preeclampsia with an incidence of 7.4% (95% confidence interval: 3.9-10.7). Most participants had blood group O (57.0%), followed by A (29.5%), B (12.7%) and AB (0.8%). The mean gestational age at preeclampsia onset was 37.8 ± 2 weeks. Blood group AB had the highest incidence of preeclampsia (50%), followed by B (16.1%), O (5.8%) and A (5.6%). Among 105 participants with non-O blood groups, 10 developed preeclampsia ( Conclusion: Maternal ABO blood group was not significantly associated with preeclampsia incidence. However, blood group AB exhibited the highest preeclampsia incidence compared with the other blood groups.
