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

Purpose: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of pregnant women has received much attention. Understanding the factors affecting their HRQoL will help health care providers develop targeted strategies for pregnancy care. This study investigated the current status of pregnant women's HRQoL in Jiangsu Province, Eastern China, explored the impact of chronic pain and other factors on it. Materials and Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among eligible pregnant women attending prenatal care in the Obstetrics Department, Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Hospital. A structured questionnaire referring to the characteristics of the study objects, chronic pain conditions, and HRQoL was used to obtain data. HRQoL was assessed using the European quality of life scale-5 dimensions (EQ-5D). Mann-Whitney Results: The study included a total of 614 pregnant women. The mean EQ-5D utility score was 0.87±0.13, and the median score was 0.87. The mean EQ-visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 84.47±16.02, and the median score was 88.00. The incidence of chronic pain was 31.8%. Multiple linear regression models showed that pregnant women with irregular daily routines ( Conclusion: Chronic pain and daily routines were the main factors affecting HRQoL of pregnant women. When developing intervention measures to improve HRQoL, focusing on chronic pain and daily routines might be effective.
