The Impact of the Association Between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes.

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
Backgroundː Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a hepatic condition that causes severe itching in late pregnancy, is linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to disrupted bile acid balance. It poses maternal risks such as preterm labor and gestational diabetes and fetal risks such as preterm birth and respiratory distress. The study examined NAFLD's impact on ICP in pregnant women, highlighting management and research implications. Methodsː This retrospective study examined pregnant women (≥18 years) with ICP, assessing fatty liver with follow-up ultrasounds. Participants were divided into ICP only and ICP with fatty liver (FL) groups, excluding heavy alcohol users and incomplete data. Maternal age, medical history, and comorbidities were evaluated alongside abdominal ultrasounds to identify FL. Resultsː In this study of 43 pregnant women, the mean maternal age was 27 years. Patients with ICP and FL had significantly higher bile acid levels than those with ICP alone. However, no significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), dyslipidemia, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), parity, and hypothyroidism. Among women with ICP and FL, 51.85% underwent lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), while 43.75% with ICP without FL underwent LSCS. Conclusionsː ICP with FL did not show significant adverse effects on maternal and neonatal outcomes, including mode of delivery, gestational age, maternal complications, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions, and low birth weight (LBW) with asphyxia. However, additional research is required to fully comprehend the relationship between ICP, NAFLD, and their impact on pregnancy outcomes.
