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

There is no other example in human teratology where, after more than 40 epidemiological studies, repeated meta-analyses and thousands of pregnancies, the fetal safety or risk of an agent has not been verified and settled. The objectives of the present review were to identify and discuss sources of bias that may lead clinicians and scientists to believe that SRIs cause malformation or other adverse outcomes, where, in fact, they may not. The present study highlights sources of bias that may explain why children exposed in utero to SRI exhibit higher rates of congenital malformations, mostly cardiovascular and other complications. It appears that pregnant women treated for depression and anxiety are distinctively different from healthy women in numerous covariates, which may confound pregnancy outcomes. Acknowledging and adjusting for these sources of bias are critical before one selects to withhold therapy for moderate or severe cases of depression and anxiety in pregnancy.
