Perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia: A case-control study.
Article in Public health challenges, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 accounts for 10-15% maternal deaths globally, corresponding to 50,000 annual maternal deaths. Twin pregnancy is a known risk factor for preeclampsia; however, there is inadequate data on the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia. This paper studied the perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia. Methods: A case-control study was conducted at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) from September 1, 2016 till August 31, 2018. A total of 173 twin deliveries (63 preeclampsia cases and 110 normotensive controls) were included in the study and the primary outcome was the frequency of preterm delivery. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 and statistical test of association was done using chi-square test for categorical data. Variables with Results: The frequency of preterm birth was 61.9% in the preeclampsia group and 33.6% in the normotensive group, Conclusions: In this study, twin pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia were found to have an increased rate of preterm birth compared to matched controls without hypertension.
