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

backgroundAutoimmune hemolytic anaemia is very rare and there is limited data regarding their pregnancy outcomes. Hence we aimed to study the maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with autoimmune hemolytic anaemias (AIHA).

methodsA retrospective descriptive study of pregnant women with AIHA, who delivered at SJMCH between January 2011 and January 2016 was carried out. Their antenatal and labour records were reviewed and demographic details noted.The primary outcome measures studied were-the prevalence of AIHA, gestational age at delivery, antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum complications, mode of delivery and requirement of transfusion of blood and blood products. The secondary outcome measures studied included neonatal outcomes such as low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction and need for intensive care. The data is presented as descriptive statistics, including means and percentage.

resultsThe prevalence of AIHA was (18/12,420) 0.14%. The mean gestational age at delivery was 34 weeks; 100%, 77% and 50% had antenatal, intra partum or postpartum complications, respectively. 44% had preeclampsia, 38% intrauterine growth restriction and 16% preterm labour. 83% required additional drugs for treatment of AIHA.72% had vaginal delivery; 28% had caesarean delivery; 33% were transfused antenatally and 22% postnatally; 50% of the babies were preterm and required intensive care, 66% had low birth weight. There was no maternal mortality.

conclusionMultidisciplinary approach, early diagnosis and detection of autoimmune hemolytic anaemia and complications, good antenatal care, judicious transfusions and delivery at tertiary care centre are the keys to successful outcomes.
