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: This study aimed to assess the predictive capacity of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in the serum of pregnant women during early pregnancy (11-13 Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1602 pregnant women who gave birth at The Second Nanning People's Hospital between March 2018 and September 2019. Serum concentrations of PlGF and PAPP-A were measured during early pregnancy for all participants. Based on pregnancy outcomes, participants were categorized into the FGR group (n = 94) and the normal control group (n = 1508). Clinical characteristics, serum PAPP-A, and PlGF levels during early pregnancy (11-13 Results: The overall incidence of FGR in the study cohort was 5.86%. Pregnant women in the FGR group exhibited significantly lower serum levels of PlGF and PAPP-A compared to the control group (both Conclusion: Serum levels of PlGF and PAPP-A in early pregnancy can effectively predict FGR, with slightly improved predictive accuracy when used together, presenting a new method for early FGR screening.
