Preeclampsia and Prematurity: Implications for Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes in a Low-middle Income Country.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes of preeclampsia in accordance with the World Health Organization prematurity criteria, in a low-resource setting. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2019 at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. All women with preterm preeclampsia were included in the study. Cases with fetal anomalies or incomplete medical records were excluded. Participants were grouped according to gestational age at delivery, following the World Health Organization prematurity classification: (I) extremely preterm birth (EPB): 24-27 Results: The study included 324 women who delivered at the following gestation terms: EPB = 89 (27.5%), VPB = 35 (10.8%), and MLPB = 200 (61.7%), resulting in 331 neonates. Serious maternal complications developed in 45 (13.9%) women. Intrauterine death occurred in 18 (5.6%) cases. The median birth weights were significantly lower in the EPB and VPB groups. Of the 331 neonates, 21 (6.3%) died (20 in the EPB group and one in the MLPB group). Neonatal ICU admission, ventilator support, and low Apgar scores were also significantly more frequent in the EPB group. Conclusions: Neonatal mortality rises significantly when delivery occurs before 28 weeks of gestation. Complications rise with preeclampsia before 32 weeks. Vigilant monitoring and timely referral improve outcomes, but in resource-limited settings like Pakistan, restricted access to specialized care indicate the need for targeted healthcare investment.
