Cancer survivorship and risk of pregnancy complications, adverse obstetric outcomes, and maternal morbidities in female adolescents and young adults: a nationwide population-based study from Taiwan.
Article in British journal of cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCancer treatment in female adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (i.e., those diagnosed between 15 and 39 years of age) may adversely affect multiple bodily functions, including the reproductive system.
methodsWe initially assembled a retrospective, nationwide population-based cohort study by linking data from two nationwide Taiwanese data sets. We subsequently identified first pregnancies and singleton births to AYA cancer survivors (2004-2018) and select AYA without a previous cancer diagnosis matched to AYA cancer survivors for maternal age and infant birth year.
resultsThe study cohort consisted of 5151 and 51,503 births to AYA cancer survivors and matched AYA without a previous cancer diagnosis, respectively. The odds for overall pregnancy complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.18) and overall adverse obstetric outcomes (OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.01-1.13) were significantly increased in survivors compared with matched AYA without a previous cancer diagnosis. Specifically, cancer survivorship was associated with an increased risk of preterm labour, labour induction, and threatened abortion or threatened labour requiring hospitalisation.
conclusionsAYA cancer survivors are at increased risk for pregnancy complications and adverse obstetric outcomes. Efforts to integrate individualised care into clinical guidelines for preconception and prenatal care should be thoroughly explored.
