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
objectiveThe aim of this prospective cross-sectional study was to determine serum D-dimer and fibrinogen concentrations in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum and compare them with those of healthy pregnant women.
methodsThe study group consisted of 50 patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. The control group consisted of 50 healthy pregnant women. Maternal characteristics such as age, gestational age, body mass index, gravida, and parity were recorded. Following a 12-h fasting period, venous blood samples of 10 cc were collected. The blood samples were centrifuged, and serum was stored at -80°C until assay. Blood count, coagulation profiles, and biochemical analyses were performed, and the results were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
resultsThe data of 45 patients in the hyperemesis gravidarum group and 47 patients in the control group were analyzed. Serum levels of hemoglobin, white blood cell and platelet counts, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer, and international normalized ratio were similar between groups (p>0.05). There was a positive association between serum D-dimer levels and serum fibrinogen levels (p=0.039, r=0.215). Also, a positive association was observed between serum D-dimer levels with the degree of ketonuria (p=0.008, r=0.274) and the number of vomitings per day (p=0.02, r=0.346) in hyperemesis gravidarum patients.
conclusionSerum D-dimer levels were not different in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum versus healthy women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women tend to have higher D-dimer concentrations as hyperemesis gravidarum severity increases. Serum D-dimer levels cannot be used for the evaluation of potential venous thromboembolism in patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum.
