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

The association between antidepressant continuation during pregnancy and postpartum mental health in women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is uncertain. We identified 1317 women with live-birth singleton pregnancies and having outpatient/inpatient visits for OCD in the 4 years pre-pregnancy from the Danish registries. We defined three groups based on antidepressant prescriptions filled in the 2 years before pregnancy to delivery: (i) unexposed (n = 449); (ii) discontinuers (n = 346), i.e., with pre-pregnancy antidepressant fills only; (iii) continuers (n = 522), i.e., with antidepressant fills before and during pregnancy. We estimated crude and propensity score weighted hazard ratio (HRs) of postpartum visit for OCD and mood/anxiety disorders using Cox proportional hazard models. In weighted analyses, we found no difference in the probability of a postpartum visit for OCD or MADs with antidepressant continuation compared to unexposed and discontinuers. The likelihood of a postpartum OCD visit was higher in pregnancies having only one prescription fill during pregnancy compared to unexposed (HR = 3.44, 95% CI: 1.24, 9.54) or discontinuers (HR = 2.49, 95% CI: 0.91, 6.83). Continuers in pregnancy without antidepressant fill in the first three months postpartum had higher probability for postpartum visit for mood/anxiety disorders compared to discontinuers (HR = 3.84, 95% CI: 1.49, 9.92). Among pregnant women with pre-existing OCD, we found similar probabilities of a postpartum visit for OCD or mood/anxiety disorders in antidepressant continuers compared to unexposed and discontinuers. Continuers with a single prescription fill during pregnancy or no fill postpartum may have higher risks for these outcomes. Our findings highlight the importance of continuity of treatment throughout the perinatal period.
