Cardiovascular diseases in pregnancy.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases arise during 0,2% to 4% of all pregnancies in the industrialized world. In Germany, this type of complication, which is sometimes lethal, affects approximately 30 000 pregnant women per year.
methodsWe performed a simple literature search in the NCBI databases for publications that appeared from 2008 to 2010 and that contained the search terms "pregnancy" and one of the following: "valvular disease," "endocarditis," "coronary heart disease," "cardiomyopathy," "hypertension," "anticoagulation." We also took consideration of the relevant international medical society guidelines and of the new database of the Pharmakovigilanz- und Beratungszentrum für Embryonaltoxikologie in Berlin (Embryotox).
resultsThere is a rising incidence, not only of hypertension during pregnancy, but also of valvular heart disease during pregnancy. Severe valvular stenosis, particularly mitral stenosis, raises the risk of pulmonary edema and should be treated before pregnancy, by valvuloplasty or surgically. Women with high-grade valvular insufficiency and restricted left-ventricular function are at risk of heart failure. For women with mechanical heart valves, the type of anticoagulation during pregnancy must be discussed on an individual basis. Coumarin derivatives are associated with an elevated risk of hemorrhage as well as coumarin embryopathy; recent studies have shown that the latter risk is low and dose-dependent. Spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries is best treated by catheter intervention with the implantation of a bare metal stent.
conclusionWomen of child-bearing age who are at risk for, or already have, cardiovascular disease should receive early counseling and treatment, not just from their family physician, but from an interdisciplinary team composed of gynecologists, cardiologists, and, if necessary, cardiac surgeons.
