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

This study examined the association between maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide birth cohort study. A total of 76 940 pregnant women were included in the analysis. Information about alcohol consumption during pregnancy was obtained using two questionnaires: T1 and T2. The mean (standard deviation) gestational age in the T1 and T2 questionnaires were 16.5 (5.8) and 27.9 (3.7) weeks, respectively. Alcohol consumption was considered as an exposure, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as an outcome, and possible confounding factors were included in a generalized linear mixed-effects model with a logit link function. Among the study subjects, 2 348 (3.1%) women developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Compared with 25 300 women who never drank alcohol, 43 women who drank alcohol according to the T1 questionnaire and continued to drink ≥150 g ethanol/week according to the T2 questionnaire had significantly higher odds of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The adjusted odds ratio was 3.98 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-11.9). In conclusion, alcohol consumption of ≥150 g ethanol/week during pregnancy is better avoided because of the high odds of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. It may be meaningful that healthcare providers confirm information about alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Moreover, discontinuation of alcohol consumption is recommended to prevent the onset of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Japan.
