The Relationship Between Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and PreLabor Rupture of Membranes in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. 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
Background and Aims: Prelabor rupture of membranes is a significant obstetric complication with serious maternal and neonatal consequences. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are among the leading contributors to adverse pregnancy outcome. However, the relationship between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and prelabor rupture of membranes in Ethiopia has not been clearly quantified. This meta-analysis aimed to provide a pooled estimate of the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and prelabor rupture of membranes. Methods: PubMed, Hinari, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect were systematically searched for observational studies on assessing the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and prelabor rupture of membranes. Data was analyzed using Stata version 17.0 using a random effects model. Risk of bias was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Pooled odds ratio and their 95% CI were computed, followed by heterogeneity assessment using the Results: This analysis incorporated 14 studies with a total of 4230 participants and revealed significant heterogeneity ( Conclusion: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are significantly associated with prelabor rupture of membranes in Ethiopia. Strengthened antenatal screening and timely management are needed to reduce prelabor rupture of membranes risk, and targeted maternal health programs should be prioritized. Further prospective studies are recommended to confirm causality and guide interventions.
