Maternal-fetal outcomes in patients with immune mediated inflammatory diseases, with consideration of comorbidities: a retrospective cohort study in a large U.S. healthcare system.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are likely to complicate maternal health. However, literature data on patients with IMIDs undergoing pregnancy is scarce and often overlooks the impact of comorbidities. Methods: We investigated 12 selected IMIDs: psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome, vasculitis, sarcoidosis, systemic sclerosis. We characterized patients with IMIDs prior to pregnancy (IMIDs group) based on pregnancy/maternal characteristics, comorbidities, and pre-pregnancy/prenatal immunomodulatory medications (IMMs) prescription patterns. We 1:1 propensity score matched the IMIDs cohort with people who had no IMID diagnoses prior to pregnancy (non-IMIDs cohort). Outcome measures were preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and cesarean section. Findings: The prevalence rate of pregnancy occurring with people with a previous IMID diagnosis has doubled in the past ten years. We identified 5,784 patients with IMIDs. 17% of the IMIDs group had at least one prenatal IMM prescription. Depending on the type of IMM, from 48% to 70% of the patients taking IMMs before pregnancy continued them throughout pregnancy. Patients with IMIDs had similar but slightly increased risks of PTB (Relative risk (RR)=1·1[1·0, 1·3]), LBW (RR=1·2 [1·0,1·4]), SGA (RR=1·1 [1·0,1·2]), and cesarean section (RR=1·1 [1·1,1·2]) compared to a matched cohort of people without IMIDs. Out of the 12 selected IMIDs, three for PTB, one for LBW, two for SGA, and six for cesarean section had results supporting increased risk. Interpretation: The association between IMIDs and the increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes depend on both the nature of the IMID and the presence of comorbidities.
