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

objectivesHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. While a healthy diet may reduce the risk of HDP, dietary counseling at obstetric visits is rare. The goal of this study was to evaluate provider perspectives and rates of dietary counseling among obstetric patients with HDP and related conditions such as obesity. STUDY

designA survey study involving the distribution of surveys to obstetric care providers at an academic medical center and affiliated hospitals. Surveys evaluated rates of dietary counseling among obstetric patients with HDP and obesity, and used Five-point Likert scales to assess the likelihood and perceived importance of dietary counseling by disease state, as well as the weight of barriers and enabling factors to dietary counseling.

main outcome measuresPrimary outcome measures were rates of dietary counseling among obstetric patients with HDP and obesity, and the likelihood and perceived importance of dietary counseling. Additional measures of interest included the weight of barriers/enabling factors to dietary counseling, provider confidence in providing dietary counseling, and rates of patient referral to dieticians/nutritionists.

resultsOnly 31 % of providers reported counseling patients with HDP on diet. Providers were significantly more likely to counsel patients with obesity compared to patients with HDP (p < 0.001). Lack of time and competing demands were the most frequently reported barriers to counseling.

conclusionsProviders are unlikely to offer dietary counseling to patients with HDP compared to those with obesity. These data highlight an important gap in preventative care for patients with HDP.
