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: The term of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is used to describe a group of tumors that are characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. Histologically, GTD includes the pre-malignant partial hydatidiform mole, complete hydatidiform mole, and malignant invasive moles that are choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumors, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors. Method and material: The protocol for this review was registered on PROSPERO, accessible at CRD42024560408. We used the "PRISMA 2020 Statement: An Updated Guideline for Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis. All original and published cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control types of studies were reported during the study period. Studies conducted in both community and institutional settings were considered. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using tools developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, which comprise eight criteria. Result: Data was systematically searched by Google Scholar ( Conclusion: This finding revealed that the pooled prevalence of GTD among pregnant women was high. Women who are aged between 30 and 39 years, have a previous history of GTD, and women who have had previous complications during pregnancy, and women who have more than two histories of pregnancy were significantly associated with the outcome variable.
