Isolated Proteinuria in Uncomplicated Twin Pregnancies vs. Singleton Pregnancies; Measured by Spot Protein-Creatinine Ratio.

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
objectivesProteinuria is used for prediction of pre-eclampsia; however, the cutoff values are suggested for singleton pregnancies and might not be appropriate for twin pregnancies. In this study, we examined whether the urine spot protein-creatinine ratio (SPCR) is higher in twin than singleton pregnancies and what factors are associated with this difference. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this prospective longitudinal study with repeated measures, pregnant mothers (aged 15-45 years) who referred to Mahdiye Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from April 2021 to November 2022 for routine prenatal care at least from the 15th gestational week were included in the study. Maternal age, body mass index, and gravidity were recorded. For measurement of SPCR, spot urine samples were collected from each participant at three predefined time points during pregnancy. Pregnancies complicated with (pre)gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia, urinary tract infection, or other renal diseases were excluded from the study. The within-subject effects of variables on the groups were evaluated using repeated-measures ANOVA. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThere were 89 mothers in the singleton group and 70 in the twin group. The mean age between the groups was not significantly different, but BMI and the distribution of gravidity differed between them. Higher median urine SPCR values were found in twin pregnancies in the mid-second and third trimesters (p = 0.005 and 0.022, respectively), with a significant trimester-by-group interaction effect in the overweight (p = 0.008) and obese subgroups (p = 0.004), as well as in women with Gravidity 1 (p = 0.012) and Gravidity ≥ 3 (p = 0.018).
conclusionTwin pregnancies have higher urine SPCR values than singletons; these findings suggest that current cutoff values may need re-evaluation in future studies to improve the prediction of pre-eclampsia in multifetal gestations.
