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

backgroundMost medications lack evidence-based information about its safety and efficacy during pregnancy and breastfeeding, because pregnant women are often not included in clinical research. Another way to generate evidence is by using a Learning Healthcare System (LHS) approach. In an LHS, care and research are aligned in such a way that it can accelerate evidence generation and outcomes for patients, based on real-life medication use. For the development of an ethically responsible and sustainable LHS, it is of crucial importance to understand what women think of such an alternative approach to knowledge generation. Therefore, this paper explores their views on an LHS for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

methodFor this qualitative study, we interviewed 20 women during preconception, pregnancy, or nursing to explore their views on an ethically responsible LHS for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The pseudonymized transcripts were analyzed thematically.

resultsWe identified four main themes describing women's views on LHSs. The first theme describes that respondents were positive about learning healthcare systems, and considered them to function as a central point for information about their medication, which they felt is currently lacking. The second theme shows that respondents want to contribute to and engage in generating new information because they want to help others and contribute to scientific research. Respondents also mentioned that, currently, not every woman is aware of the risks of the lack of evidence for medication used in pregnancy. The third theme shows that respondents regard their healthcare professional as essential for the translation and interpretation of information, regardless of a learning healthcare system. The last theme describes that respondents will trust a learning healthcare system more if the medical community supports it, and when data collection and processing is transparent.

conclusionWomen during preconception, pregnancy and nursing agree that an LHS could be a viable alternative to help close the knowledge gap on the safety of medication used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The obtained insights from our interviews provide valuable stepping-stones for the development of an ethically responsible and sustainable LHS, as well as for the engagement of women in an LHS.
