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

This study aimed to examine the efficacy of Doppler and B-mode sonography in evaluating the impact of maternal temperament on hemodynamic alterations in both the fetus and uterus during ovine gestation in addition to alteration of the angiogenic protein expression and fetal biometry. Twenty Ossimi ewes were divided into two groups, more reactive (MR: 12 sheep) and less reactive (LR: 8 sheep). Several endpoints were assessed every 2 weeks (wk) from breeding to wk 20 of pregnancy. Blood samples were taken to evaluate the expression of angiogenic proteins at parturition. The resistance (RI) and pulsatility (PI) indexes of the uterine (UtA) and fetal umbilical arteries (UMA) were measured. Biometry includes: diameter of amniotic vesicles (AVD), umbilicus (UMD), fetal thoracic diameter (FTD) and metacarpal length (MCL). The UtA-PI was higher in MR compared to LR ewes between 6-12 wks of gestation (P>0.01), while a tendency was recognized at wk 14 (P=0.054). The same was true for UtA-RI during the first 8 wk of pregnancy (P < 0.03) when MR and LR animals were compared. Similarly, UMA-RI was higher in fetuses of MR than LR ewes at wk 14 (P<0.0003) and 20 (P<0.02) of pregnancy. The differences in UMA-PI reached significance at wk 6, 8, 10, and 20 (P<0.0 -0.003). Furthermore, significant changes in fetal biometry were investigated. The expressions of
