Ophthalmic artery Doppler measurements in Chinese women with healthy pregnancies.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to establish a reference range for ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler parameters in Chinese women with healthy pregnancies.
methodsA prospective cross-sectional study was performed to assess OA Doppler parameters in 300 healthy women between 11 and 32 weeks of gestation between October 2022 and December 2022. We took two measurements in each eye and recorded the following measurements: the first peak of systolic velocity (PSV1), the second peak of systolic velocity (PSV2), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), mean velocity (MV), pulsatility and resistance indices (PI, RI), the ratio of the second peak to the first peak of systolic velocity (PR), and systolic/diastolic (S/D) pressure. The relationship between the RI, PI, PR, PSV2 and gestational age (GA) was analysed by Spearman rank correlation and linear regression analysis.The 5th and 95th percentiles of OA Doppler indices (PI, RI, PR, PSV2) for 11-32 gestational weeks were computed via the LMS method.
resultsA total of 283 healthy pregnant women at different gestational ages were enrolled in this study to analyze the correlation between OA hemodynamic parameters and GA With an increase in GA, the PR of the OA exhibited a progressive downward trend: the mean RPR value was 0.67 ± 0.08 at 12 weeks of gestation and decreased to 0.54 ± 0.07 at 30 weeks, with the difference being statistically highly significant (P < 0.001), while no significant changes were observed in the PI, RI, and PSV2 of the OA. The 5th and 95th prediction intervals for each GA are presented. Intra- and interobserver variability was considered satisfactory.
conclusionsPR of OA is a GA-dependent hemodynamic index that decreases progressively with advancing gestation, whereas the PI, RI, and PSV2 of OA remain stable throughout the observation period. These findings provide a reliable reference for the clinical assessment of maternal ocular hemodynamics during pregnancy.
