Pregnancy outcome in more than 5000 births to women with viral hepatitis: a population-based cohort study in Sweden.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
Previous studies have shown inconsistent results with respect to hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and pregnancy outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate pregnancy outcome in women with HBV or HCV. In a nationwide cohort of births between 2001 and 2011 we investigated the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes in 2990 births to women with HBV and 2056 births to women with HCV using data from Swedish healthcare registries. Births to women without HBV (n = 1090 979), and births without HCV (n = 1091 913) served as population controls. Crude and adjusted relative risks (aRR) were calculated using Poisson regression analysis. Women with HCV were more likely to smoke (46.7 vs. 8.0%) and to have alcohol dependence (18.9 vs. 1.3%) compared with population controls. Most women with HBV were born in non-Nordic countries (91.9%). Maternal HCV was associated with a decreased risk of preeclampsia (aRR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.24-0.64), but an increased risk of preterm birth (aRR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.08-1.60) and late neonatal death (7-27 days: aRR: 3.79, 95% CI: 1.07-13.39) Preterm birth were also more common in mothers with HBV, aRR: 1.21 (95% CI: 1.02-1.45). Both HBV and HCV are risk factors for preterm birth, while HCV seems to be associated with a decreased risk for preeclampsia. Future studies should corroborate these findings.
