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

Objective: A recent Delphi consensus defined organ-system-based parameters intended to reflect disease severity and delivery urgency in preeclampsia (PE) ≤ 32 weeks. This study evaluates the applicability of these parameters in a real-world cohort. Methods: In a retrospective cohort of 1928 women with suspected PE, 148 presented at ≤ 32 weeks, of whom 84 (56.8%) delivered at ≤ 32 weeks. Delivery indications documented in medical records were compared with organ-based Delphi criteria, and Likert scores were calculated. The association between the Delphi Score and the risk of PE-related delivery, as well as Delphi organ-system scores, mean maximal arterial blood pressure and the sFlt-1/PlGF-ratio were examined using regression analysis. ROC analyses and likelihood ratio tests were used to assess the Delphi score, sFlt-1/PlGF-ratio, and the combination of both to predict PE-related delivery. Results: The Delphi score was associated with an increased risk of PE-related deliveries ≤ 32+0 weeks (OR 1.27 per point, 95% CI 1.12-1.45), p < 0.001) but demonstrated limited predictive accuracy (AUC 0.699 (95% CI 0.612-0.787). Adding the sFlt-1/PlGF-ratio markedly improved model performance (χ Conclusion: In this retrospective real-world cohort, the Delphi score showed limited applicability for guiding delivery decisions in PE ≤ 32 weeks. Incorporating broader hypertension thresholds and biomarkers may enhance decision-making approaches.
