Comparison of first trimester complete blood count parameters in missed abortion and healthy pregnant women: a retrospective case-control study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundThe aim of our study is to compare the markers and parameters obtained from complete blood count between patients diagnosed with missed abortion in the first trimester and a healthy pregnant control group. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive, retrospective, case-control study included 166 patients diagnosed with missed abortion according to ultrasound criteria, and an equal number of healthy pregnant controls, who visited the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic at a Training and Research Hospital from January 1, 2018, to July 1, 2023. Participants, with 5 to 14 weeks of gestation, were selected using simple random sampling. Data on age, gravida, parity, gestational week, and hemogram results were retrieved from medical records and compared. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsNo significant differences were observed between the case and control groups in terms of gravida, parity, age, or gestational week (p > 0.05). Likewise, comparisons of hemogram parameters and derived values, did not show statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). However, the multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that each unit increase in lymphocyte count was linked to a 2.075 times higher risk of missed abortion (p = 0.040).
conclusionOur study found no significant differences in complete blood count parameters between the missed abortion and healthy pregnant groups. Although lymphocyte count was significant in the multivariate model, this association should be interpreted with caution, as complete blood count values were obtained at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, it does not indicate predictive value, and prospective studies are needed to determine whether lymphocyte count may serve as a pre-diagnostic marker.
