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

introductionHeartburn is a common complaint during pregnancy; the incidence is reported to be between 17% and 45%. METHODS AND OUTCOMES: We conducted a systematic overview and aimed to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of interventions to prevent or treat heartburn in pregnancy? We searched Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to December 2014 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review).

resultsAt this update, searching of electronic databases retrieved 80 studies. After deduplication and removal of conference abstracts, 59 records were screened for inclusion in the review. Appraisal of titles and abstracts led to the exclusion of 58 studies and the further review of one full publication. The full article evaluated did not meet our reporting criteria, and thus no new evidence was added at this update. We performed a GRADE evaluation for two PICO combinations.

conclusionsIn this systematic overview, we categorised the efficacy for six interventions, based on information about the effectiveness and safety of acid-suppressing drugs, antacids with or without alginates, raising the head of the bed, reducing caffeine intake, reducing intake of fatty foods, and reducing the size and frequency of meals.
