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 determine, through a review of published articles, whether a higher prevalence of pregnancy complications is associated with residency in medicine. DATA SOURCES: Articles published between January 1980 and December 1992 found through a MEDLINE search using the MeSH terms "pregnancy complications" and "internship and residency" and through a review of the bibliographies of articles found. STUDY SELECTION: Of the 17 articles found, 6 contained data on the prevalence of pregnancy complications in residents. DATA EXTRACTION: The methodologic quality of the studies was evaluated systematically with the use of a grid. Data on the prevalence of the six most common pregnancy complications were retained. DATA SYNTHESIS: Four of the six articles had methodologic weaknesses (missing or inappropriate control groups, poorly controlled historical bias). The best study showed a higher prevalence of premature labour, pre-eclampsia and voluntary abortion in the residents than in the control subjects.

conclusionsIt is difficult to draw definitive conclusions from a single study that met the criteria for methodologic quality. More and better-controlled studies involving larger numbers of subjects are needed.
