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

aimThis study determines the prevalence, causes and outcome of pregnancy in women with chronic liver diseases in a tertiary level teaching institute in Southern India.

methodsRetrospective analysis of case records was carried out between December 2010 and May 2015 in the departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Gastroenterology including pregnant women diagnosed to have chronic liver diseases prenatally or during pregnancy.

resultsThe frequency of chronic liver disease in pregnancy was 50 among 10,823 deliveries (0.4%). Twenty-six women with chronic liver disease had 50 pregnancies during the study period. Fifty percent of the women had cirrhosis. Maternal complications occurred in 22% of the study group. Variceal hemorrhage occurred in 4%, and hepatic decompensation occurred in 16%. There were two maternal deaths (4%). Obstetric complication such as preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal infection occurred in 18, 14 and 18%, respectively. Abortion occurred in 34%, 55% in cirrhotic and 4.8% in non-cirrhotic. Live birth rate of 76% was significantly higher (

conclusionPregnancies in chronic liver disease are associated with high rate of abortions. Live birth rates are better and complications such as variceal bleeding or decompensation of liver disease are less common than previously reported.
