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

Background: Concerned studies with respect to the outcome of pregnant patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension are limited. Thus, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature was conducted. Methods: A literature search was conducted from 1999 to December 2021 for studies evaluating pregnancy outcomes in patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. Results: Twelve studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled rate of variceal bleeding, ascites and severe anemia requiring blood transfusion were 9.6%, 2.3%, and 14.9%, respectively. The pooled rate of spontaneous miscarriage, gestational hypertension, delivery by cesarean section, and postpartum hemorrhage were 11.9%, 4.5%, 36.7%, and 4.7%, respectively. The pooled stillbirth rate was 2.5% and among the live births, the pooled rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, intensive care unit admission, and neonatal mortality were 21.6%, 18.7%, 15.5%, and 1.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Pregnancy in patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is associated with increased maternal & fetal morbidity but mortality remains low.
