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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects patients at a significant time in their lives, often coinciding with family planning or pregnancy. While advances in IBD therapies have afforded women greater opportunities for successful conception and pregnancy outcomes, there still remains considerable maternal fear surrounding continuation of treatment in pregnancy. With the exception of methotrexate, most IBD drugs are safe and well tolerated during pregnancy and are not associated with significant risk of adverse fetal or pregnancy outcomes. Furthermore, the current evidence overwhelmingly suggests that good control of disease activity and clinical remission at time of conception are the greatest prognostic factors for an uncomplicated pregnancy and maintenance of quiescent disease. Management of pregnant women with IBD should involve discussions with the mother and family about fears or concerns surrounding the impact of IBD on pregnancy. Mothers should be supported and counselled carefully on the safety and importance of adherence to therapy in maintaining remission. Optimal management of these women requires an inter-disciplinary team effort, involving the general practitioner, in close consultation with both gastroenterologists and obstetricians.
