Hyperemesis gravidarum: Associations with personal and family history of nausea.
Article in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe pathogenesis and risk factors for hyperemesis gravidarum, excessive nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, are not adequately recognized. In our previous study, we found that women with a personal history of nausea in different situations and a family history of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) were more likely to have severe NVP. The present study focuses on these themes in association with hyperemesis gravidarum in a hospital setting. MATERIAL AND
methodsWomen with hyperemesis gravidarum (n = 102) were recruited from among patients hospitalized due to hyperemesis gravidarum in Turku University Hospital, Finland. Our control group (Non-NVP group, n = 138) consisted of pregnant women with no NVP. Personal history of nausea in different situations was inquired about in relation to "motion sickness", "seasickness", "migraine", "other kind of headache", "after anesthesia", "during the use of contraception", and "other kinds of nausea". Relatives with NVP were divided into first-degree (mother and sisters) and second-degree (more distant) relatives.
resultsIn univariate analysis, a personal history of motion sickness, seasickness, nausea related to migraine, nausea with other headache and nausea in other situations were associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. After adjusting for age, parity, pre-pregnancy body mass index, marital status, and smoking, motion sickness (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.67-10.31, p < 0.0001), seasickness (aOR 4.82, 95% CI 2.32-10.03, p < 0.0001), nausea related to migraine (aOR 3.00, 95% CI 1.58-5.70, p < 0.001), and nausea in other situations (aOR 2.65, 95% CI 1.13-6.20, p = 0.025) remained significant. In multivariable analysis with all history of nausea variables, motion sickness (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.29-5.89, p = 0.009) and nausea related to migraine (OR 3.10, 95% CI 1.40-6.86, p = 0.005) were associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. Having any affected relative (OR 3.51, 95%CI 1.84-6.73, p = 0.0002), especially a first-degree relative (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.62-5.79, p = 0.0006), was also associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. Adjustment did not change the results.
conclusionsWomen with a personal history of nausea or a family history of NVP are more likely to suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum. These results are beneficial to better identify and help women at risk for hyperemesis gravidarum.
