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

Rationale & Objective: Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes in women with complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (cTMA) have not been well described. A better understanding of these outcomes is necessary to provide women with competent pregnancy counseling. Study Design: Cohort study. Setting and Participants: Women with a history of cTMA and pregnancies enrolled into the Vienna thrombotic microangiopathy cohort. Exposure: New onset or relapses of cTMA. Outcomes: Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in women (a) before cTMA manifestation, (b) complicated by pregnancy-associated cTMA (P-cTMA), and (c) after first manifestation of cTMA or P-cTMA. Analytical Approach: Mixed models were used to adjust the comparison of pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes between conditions (before, with, and after cTMA) for repeated pregnancies using the mother's ID as random factor. In addition, the fixed factors, mother's age and neonate's sex, were used for adjustment. For (sex-adjusted and age-adjusted) centile outcomes, only the mother's age was used. Adjusted odds ratios were derived from a generalized linear mixed model with live birth as the outcome. Least squares means and pairwise differences between them were derived from the linear mixed models for the remaining outcomes. Results: 28 women reported 74 pregnancies. Despite higher rates of fetal loss before the diagnosis of P-cTMA and preterm births with P-cTMA, most of the women were able to conceive successfully. Neonatal development in all 3 conditions of pregnancies was excellent. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were better in women with a pregnancy after the diagnosis of cTMA. Limitations: Although our data set comprises a considerable number of 74 pregnancies, the effective sample size is lower because only 28 mothers with multiple pregnancies were observed. The statistical power for detecting clinically relevant effects was probably low. A recall bias for miscarriages cannot be ruled out. Conclusions: Prepregnancy counseling of women with a history of cTMA can be supportive of their desire to become pregnant.
