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

Active rheumatic disease is a known factor for increased fetomaternal risks during pregnancy. Remission or inactive disease should therefore be targeted to reduce these risks by using pregnancy-compatible antirheumatic drugs as recommended by international guidelines. Teratogenic antirheumatic drugs, such as mycophenolate, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and thalidomide should be stopped about 3 months prior to conception. Leflunomide is a weak human teratogen that should be stopped and eliminated with cholestyramine prior to conception. Furthermore, drugs with limited data, such as apremilast and JAK inhibitors as well as new biologics should be avoided during gestation. Pregnancy-compatible drugs are the antirheumatic drugs hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, colchicine, non-selective NSAIDs, low-dose prednisone/prednisolone and TNF inhibitors. These drugs as well as other biologics, such as rituximab can be used during lactation. In a preconception counselling visit, the benefits and the international recommendations of pregnancy-compatible antirheumatic drugs should be discussed with the patient and be weighed against the possible fetomaternal risks of an active disease to enable a shared decision-making.
