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

Steroid hormones play a critical role in maintaining pregnancy and supporting fetal development. Accurate quantification of these hormones is essential for evaluating the endocrine status during pregnancy. While chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is widely used in clinical practice in China, it has inherent methodological limitations. In contrast, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been internationally recognized for its superior analytical performance but remains underutilized in Chinese obstetric practice. Moreover, systematic evaluations comparing these two methods in pregnant women are still lacking. This study aimed to develop and validate an isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of four key steroid hormones, including cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), testosterone, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP). In addition, a consistency analysis was conducted between LC-MS/MS and CLIA among pregnant women. Method validation followed international bioanalytical guidelines, evaluating linearity, limits of quantification (LOQs), recovery, and precision. Serum samples from 94 pregnant women were collected at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between January 2022 and December 2023, and were analyzed using both LC-MS/MS and CLIA. Method comparison was performed using paired
