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

introductionAlthough there is a vast literature regarding the association between inherited thrombophilia, obstetric complications and the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), these are controversial and we have not found publications related to additional risk factors other than thrombophilia. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of miscarriage, placenta-mediated pregnancy complications and fetal loss in pregnant women with IT, establishing associated risk factors and the effect of LMWH. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective cohort of pregnant women with IT was formed. Risk factors considered were: high-risk IT, age ≥35 years, body mass index ≥25 and ≥30, assisted reproductive technology, antiphospholipid antibodies, autoimmune disease, first-degree family history of obstetric complications and personal history of venous or arterial thromboembolic disease, the outcomes being M, FL and PMPC. RESULTS AND

conclusionsData from 250 pregnancies in 88 women were obtained. There were 112 (45%) Ms, 13 (5.2%) FLs and 25 (10%) PMPCs. High-risk IT was associated with FL (OR=4.96; 95% CI, 1.42-17.3). Antiphospholipid antibodies and family history of obstetric complications were associated with PMPC (OR=7.12; 95% CI, 1.89-26.74, OR=3.88; 95% CI, 1.18-12.78, respectively). The LMWH presented a benefit in the combined outcome (any obstetric complication, OR=0.25; 95% CI, 0.12-0.54) and M (OR=0.41; 95% CI, 0.20-0.82). We conclude that obstetric complications are common in women with IT. Antiphospholipid antibodies, family history of obstetric complications and high-risk IT might be additional risk factors. The LMWH has an apparent protective effect against obstetric complications, which is consistent with some previous studies.
