Evaluating medication use in pregnancy and lactation: what every pharmacist should know.
Article in The journal of pediatric pharmacology and therapeutics : JPPT : the official journal of PPAG, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
As a pharmacist, being asked to give advice about medication use during pregnancy or lactation can be daunting. This article reviews the principles of drug transfer across the placenta, into breast milk, and reviews the rating scales and different resources available. The Food and Drug Administration classification scale is reviewed and the upcoming changes are explained, along with recent labeling changes for specific medications or drug classes when appropriate. This article provides the pharmacist with a practical set of tools to review the information available and assess the risks of treating or withholding a medication for mother and infant.
