Contraception and Pregnancy Planning in Women With Congenital Heart Disease.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
opinion statementThe cardiovascular risk of pregnancy among women with congenital heart disease is heterogeneous, ranging from negligible to prohibitively high. Nonetheless, many of these patients do not report being counseled about the potential risks, and the incidence of unintended pregnancy is high. These women should be counseled on safe and effective contraceptive options. Long-acting reversible contraceptives, including the intrauterine devices and etonogestrel implant, are highly effective and safe for all cardiac patients. These are good options for pregnancy planning for women at elevated risk of cardiovascular complications during pregnancy, who are taking potentially teratogenic medications, or who have contraindications to estrogen-containing methods. Pregnancy management begins with pre-conceptual risk stratification and counseling regarding individual cardiovascular and fetal risks. As significant lapse in care is common at the time of transition to adult congenital cardiology care, these discussions ideally begin in pediatric clinics and continue upon transfer of care to adult congenital cardiology clinics.
