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

Pre-eclampsia affects several physiological systems, often changing the course of pregnancy and manifesting with both maternal and foetal adversities, with a higher burden in rural Sub-Saharan African settings. This study presents maternal and foetal adverse outcomes associated with pre-eclampsia at a rural tertiary hospital in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. A prospective analytical case-control study was conducted with 250 pregnant women planned for delivery at the study setting's labour unit. Pregnant women with pre-eclampsia were considered cases, whereas pregnant women without pre-eclampsia were considered controls. Cases were enrolled first, followed by a matched pair of controls based on their gravidity. A consecutive sampling technique was used to recruit eligible cases and controls. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire followed by descriptive and inferential analysis. Adverse foetal outcomes associated with pre-eclampsia were low birth weight [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.1,
