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

A fetal autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular block is a passively acquired autoimmune disease in which maternal autoantibodies enter the fetal circulation via the placenta and subsequently cause inflammation and fibrosis of the atrioventricular node. Once fetal autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular block occurs, it only takes a short time to progress from first-degree atrioventricular block to complete atrioventricular block, meaning that the damage is often irreversible. Autoimmune-associated AVB, a rare but life-threatening disorder, occurs in 2-5% of pregnancies with positive anti-Ro/SSA (the most common one) and La/SSB antibodies. The perinatal mortality of neonates with AVB outlined in research is approximately 30%. Thus far, for autoimmune-associated AVB fetuses, currently used treatments include corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), b-sympathomimetic agent, and even plasma exchange. Currently, approaches for preventing the progression and recurrence of a fetal atrioventricular block are still controversial. Here, we reported a baby of successful prevention from the fate of the fetal atrioventricular block by adopting prophylactic comprehensive prenatal therapy.
