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

objectiveTo investigate the predictive value of uterine artery hemodynamic parameters for missed abortion and to develop and validate a multimodal prediction model for clinical use.

methodsThis retrospective study included 162 women with missed abortion and 812 women with normal early pregnancy from January 2023 to May 2024. Baseline clinical characteristics, including age, body mass index (BMI), and history of miscarriage, together with uterine artery Doppler parameters, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), and end-diastolic velocity (EDV), were collected from medical records. Group differences were analyzed using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors. A nomogram was constructed and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The cohort was randomly divided into training and validation sets at a ratio of 7:3.

resultsThe missed abortion group had significantly higher PI, RI, PSV, and EDV values than the normal pregnancy group (all P < 0.001). Among the four hemodynamic parameters, PI showed the best predictive performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.838. Multivariate logistic regression identified age, BMI, history of miscarriage, PI, RI, PSV, and EDV as independent predictors of missed abortion (all P < 0.05), with PI showing the strongest predictive value (odds ratio [OR] = 13.784). The nomogram achieved an AUC of 0.908 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.882-0.935) in the training set and 0.873 (95% CI: 0.819-0.927) in the validation set, with good calibration and clinical utility.

conclusionsUterine artery hemodynamic parameters, particularly PI, are valuable predictors of missed abortion. The multimodal nomogram demonstrated good predictive performance and may assist in early risk stratification and individualized clinical management.
