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

objectiveTo explore the risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the influence on their offspring health.

methodsPregnant women with RA (n = 67) who were hospitalized in the Department of Obstetrics, Peking University People's Hospital between January 2007 and September 2021 were included in this study. Participants were evaluated at least once in each trimester and postpartum. Fetal outcomes and RA disease activity were extracted from medical records, and the offspring of enrolled patients were followed up. Associations between RA disease activity, medication use, and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed.

resultsThe incidence of APOs in our cohort was 43.3%. Postpartum hemorrhage (20.9%) was the commonest complication, followed by premature delivery (11.9%). Previous miscarriages [odds ratio (OR): 1.869, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.053-3.318, P = 0.033] and antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity (OR:3.168, 95% CI: 1.068-9.768, P = 0.045) were risk factors for APOs. Compared to patients with APOs, the remission rate of disease activity during pregnancy was higher in patients without APOs (P = 0.027). There were no significant differences between patients with and without APOs with respect to daily and cumulative doses of prednisone (P > 0.05). The average age of the offspring was 4.9 years (range 0.3-14 years). Long-term follow-up showed no significant differences in offspring health between the two groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionPrevious miscarriages and ANA positivity are independent risk factors for APOs in RA patients, while adverse pregnancy outcomes and low-dose prednisone have no effect on offspring health. Key points • Previous miscarriages and ANA positivity are risk factors for APOs in RA patients. • Adverse pregnancy outcomes and low-dose prednisone during pregnancy have no effect on offspring health.
