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

Miscarriage is a naturally occurring event that can be caused by several factors, such as work-related stress. The aim of the current systematic review was to examine the association between work-related stress and miscarriage in pregnant women, and to corroborate previous findings on the subject. A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and Scopus databases. Observational studies published in English were considered for inclusion. A total of 412 papers were identified through the database search. After removing duplicates, 302 papers were screened, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies were included in the systematic review. Our results indicate that there is an increased risk of miscarriage among women with work stress. Future research in larger population samples is needed to confirm these findings.
