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 may be associated with adverse outcome in women with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, data regarding the outcome of pregnancy in women with CHD who receive care in cardiac-obstetric expert units are limited.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed baseline characteristics and outcome of pregnancy in 67 females with CHD who received medical care in our tertiary center for 61 singleton and 6 twin pregnancies between 2009 and 2018.

resultsAccording to the modified World Health Organization (mWHO) risk scale for pregnancy, CHD lesions in 39 enrolled women (58%) were classified as mWHO class I or II, and in 28 females (42%) as mWHO class III or IV. Preterm births were more frequent in mWHO classes III or IV (P=0.003). Cardiac signs and complications occurred more often in mWHO classes III or IV than in women with cardiac lesions assigned to mWHO classes I or II (42.9%

conclusionsAdverse cardiac events and preterm deliveries should be anticipated in pregnant women with CHD, especially in those with mWHO classes III or IV. Therefore, these pregnancies should be under close surveillance and managed in specialized, multidisciplinary tertiary referral centers. Preconception counseling including individualized risk assessment is strongly recommended in women with CHD.
