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

backgroundNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy due to negative effects including alteration of uteroplacental blood flow, premature ductus arteriosus closure, and adverse effects on the fetal kidney. However, many women are unaware of these risks, and commonly report their use in pregnancy. We aimed to determine if umbilical cord was a reliable matrix for detecting NSAID use, determine incidence of use close to labour, and uncover associations with obstetric/neonatal outcomes.

methodsWe developed a UHPLC-MS/MS method to simultaneously detect diclofenac, ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, and salicylic acid in plasma and umbilical cord lysate. Using this method, we screened 380 lysates to determine the prevalence of NSAID use. Results were compared to the clinical outcomes in pregnancy using ICD9/10 chart codes (n = 21).

resultsThe UHPLC-MS/MS method has excellent linearity, accuracy, and precision in solvent and plasma, but lower sensitivity in umbilical cord lysate. We report a 3 % rate of NSAID ingestion within days of labour - the pharmacokinetically-determined window for active ingestion. There were no significant differences observed for maternal, obstetric, or neonatal outcomes between the NSAID positive group (n = 11) and NSAID negative group (n = 369).

conclusionsBecause NSAID use in third trimester is contraindicated, even a 3% usage rate is alarmingly high. Based on UHPLC-MS/MS performance of umbilical cord lysate, 3% is likely a conservative estimate. Recent adoption of NSAIDs under clinical supervision to support
