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

backgroundSeveral studies have assessed the association between antiretroviral (ARV) therapy use during pregnancy and small for gestational age (SGA), but the evidence remains incompletely elucidated.

methodsWe linked data from Tennessee Medicaid files and vital records to evaluate pregnancies among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women who delivered between 1994 and 2009. Maternal HIV status was defined based on diagnosis codes, ARV prescriptions and laboratory codes for CD4 count or HIV RNA assays. ARV use was identified from pharmacy claims. Risk of SGA (defined as birth weight below the 10th percentile for gestational age) and preterm birth was evaluated using logistic regression models.

resultsFour hundred and seventy-seven HIV-infected pregnant women contributing 604 singleton pregnancies were identified; 156 (26%) delivered SGA infants. ARV use during pregnancy was not associated with SGA [adjusted odds ratio: 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.56-1.56] or preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.42-1.32). Exposure to a protease inhibitor during the first trimester was associated with a lower risk of SGA (odds ratio: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.29-1.01) compared with non-exposure to a protease inhibitor throughout pregnancy.

conclusionsWe observed no evidence of an association between ARV exposure during pregnancy and SGA delivery in this Medicaid cohort of HIV-infected women.
