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: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both the mother and the fetus. These disorders often lead to significant systemic and ocular changes, particularly in the choroidal vasculature. The sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) may provide critical insights into these changes and serve as a non-invasive marker for assessing the severity of HDP. Objective: The study aimed to compare the SFCT in patients with HDP versus normotensive pregnant women in their third trimester and to correlate SFCT with the severity of hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at JSS Hospital, Mysuru, involving 100 pregnant women in their third trimester, divided into 51 cases (HDP group) and 49 controls (normotensive group). SFCT was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Data was analyzed and SFCT values compared between the two groups using mean arterial pressure (MAP). Results: Results showed significantly higher SFCT in the HDP group (229.76 μm) compared to controls (173.45 μm), with a Conclusion: The study demonstrates that SFCT is significantly increased in patients with HDP, correlating positively with MAP. Further studies are recommended to explore the broader clinical applications of SFCT in HDP.
