Pregnancy outcomes, fertility, and family planning in women with psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Obstetric medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo quantify pregnancy outcomes and the frequency and cause of infertility among women with psoriatic arthritis.
methodsWomen with psoriatic arthritis aged 20-50 years completed a questionnaire about prior pregnancies, infertility, and family planning. Patient-reported pregnancy outcomes were validated by chart review.
resultsIn 40 women with psoriatic arthritis, 67% of 70 pregnancies were live births. Patient-reported preterm birth and preeclampsia were more common after psoriatic arthritis diagnosis but were significantly over-reported. Most women reported no or mild joint pain during pregnancy and few took medications for psoriatic arthritis. Infertility was reported by 36% of women who were ever pregnant or ever tried to become pregnant, primarily due to polycystic ovary syndrome.
conclusionThe patient-reported pregnancy outcomes in this retrospective survey were not supported by chart review, making prospective studies essential to understand the interaction of psoriatic arthritis and pregnancy. Infertility, particularly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, appears to be an important issue in this population.
