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

Objective: To identify significant risk factors associated with severe maternal morbidity(SMM) in patients with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from patients with HDP who delivered at Fujian Maternity and Children Health Hospital between January 2013 and March 2022. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for developing SMM. Significant risk factors (P < 0.05) were considered for inclusion in multivariate logistic regression using stepwise regression with forward and backward selection. Results: Of 3133 HDP patients included in the study, 365 met the diagnostic criteria of SMM and were included in the SMM group, while 2768 patients comprised the control group. The SMM group had a significantly higher incidence of gestational hypertension diagnosed at ≤ 34 weeks of gestation compared to the control group (30.14% vs. 12.64%, p<0.0001). Patients in the SMM group had a higher incidence of previous history of preeclampsia compared to the control group (1.64% vs. 0.25%, p=0.0001). Logistic regression analysis identified parity (OR, 1.37; CI, 1.05-1.78; p=0.0205), gestational age of diagnosis (OR, 2.22; CI, 1.68-2.92; p<0.0001), iron supplementation (OR, 2.31; CI, 1.83-2.93; p<0.0001), and preeclampsia (OR, 3.10; CI, 2.42-3.98; p<0.0001) as significant risk factors for SMM. Stepwise regression analysis confirmed that parity (OR, 1.43; CI, 1.17-1.73; p=0.0004), gestational age of diagnosis (OR, 2.32; CI, 1.77-3.05; p<0.0001), iron supplementation (OR, 2.30; CI, 1.82-2.90; p<0.0001), and preeclampsia (OR, 3.34; CI, 2.63-4.24; p<0.0001) remained significantly associated with SMM. Conclusion: Gestational age of diagnosis, iron supplementation, and history of preeclampsia were identified as risk factors of SMM in patients with HDP. Our results can help identify high-risk patients for early recognition and management of SMM.
