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

introductionCystic fibrosis-related diabetes mellitus (CFRDM) is becoming a more common issue in pregnancy care as the life expectancy of females living with cystic fibrosis has improved, with an increasing number of pregnancies in this population. Despite the Republic of Ireland having the highest incidence of cystic fibrosis globally, there is limited Irish data on pregnancy outcomes for those with CFRDM. This study aimed to retrospectively review maternal and foetal outcomes of pregnancies affected by maternal CFRDM.

methodsThe patient records of all women with CFRDM who attended the National Maternity Hospital Dublin for obstetric care between 2015 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsA search of patient records identified 15 pregnancies in 12 women with CFRDM during the study period. CFRDM was diagnosed pre-conception in ten of the 15 pregnancies. Median neonatal weight at birth was lower in women with CFRDM diagnosed pre-conception compared to women diagnosed during pregnancy (2.8 vs. 3.02 kg). The median weight gain in women with CFRDM diagnosed pre-conception was 10.9 kg compared to 11.9 kg for those diagnosed during pregnancy. The majority of women (62.5%) with CFRDM diagnosed pre-conception delivered via caesarean section. Admission for CF exacerbations during pregnancy in women with CFRDM diagnosed pre-conception was very common (87.5%) compared with 75% of those diagnosed during their pregnancy.

conclusionWomen diagnosed with CFRDM were likely to require caesarean section, to be treated with insulin, and to be frequently admitted to hospital for CF exacerbations. Our review highlights the importance of good glucose control, stable cystic fibrosis before pregnancy and a multidisciplinary team approach.
