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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the maternal and fetal outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases attending a joint rheumatology and obstetric clinic in the UK. Methods: Electronic records of 98 patients attending the joint rheumatology and obstetric clinic between January 2018 and January 2020 were analysed. Data on patient demographics, characteristics (including age, ethnicity, diagnosis, and medications taken during pregnancy), pregnancy outcomes (miscarriage, stillbirth or live birth), maternal complications [infection, post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) or pre-eclampsia] and fetal complications (sepsis, congenital heart block, prematurity and low birth weight) were tabulated. Subgroups of patients based on maternal diagnosis, medications and Ro/La antibody status were described in a similar manner. Results: The cohort was found to be predominantly Caucasian women >30 years of age, diagnosed with a CTD. Of 98 pregnancies, 97% ( Conclusion: We report favourable outcomes from this service model, including a high live birth rate, a low miscarriage rate and a high median birth weight. With limited reported data of pregnancy outcomes from joint obstetric/rheumatology clinics, this service model might be beneficial in other centres.
