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

backgroundPregnancy complicated with tuberculosis is increasingly common. The clinical characteristics of pregnancy complicated with miliary tuberculosis are summarized in this study.

methodsA retrospective analysis of pregnant patients with miliary tuberculosis was performed in terms of epidemiology, demography, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, treatment, and prognosis.

resultsOf the 23 patients that were included, 12 became pregnant after

conclusionsMiliary tuberculosis can occur in pregnant patients, especially in patients after IVF-ET. Symptoms often appear in the first trimester of pregnancy after IVF-ET and in the second trimester of natural pregnancy. Lacking specificity, the common clinical characteristics include elevated inflammation markers, anaemia, low lymphocyte count, and multiple miliary nodules shown on a chest HRCT scan. Half of patients with miliary tuberculosis may develop respiratory failure, and some may progress to ARDS. Therefore, infertile patients should be required to undergo TB screening before undergoing IVF-ET, and preventive anti-TB treatment should be given to patients with latent TB infections or untreated TB disease.Key MessageMiliary tuberculosis can occur in pregnant patients, especially in pregnant patients after IVF-ET. Symptoms often appear in the first trimester of pregnancy after IVF-ET and in the second trimester of natural pregnancy. Many patients develop respiratory failure or ARDS.
