Pregnancy outcomes in women with rheumatoid arthritis: an 11-year French nationwide study.
Article in RMD open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect women of childbearing age. The management of patients with RA during pregnancy has evolved over the past decades, especially with the availability of new therapeutic molecules.
objectivesTo describe pregnancy in women with RA, to compare pregnancy outcomes with those of women in the general population and to compare pregnancy outcomes in women with active and inactive RA.
methodsUsing the French National Health Data System, we identified all pregnancies ending between 2010 and 2020 in patients with and without RA. Characteristics were described. Active RA was defined by conventional synthetic/biological/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug initiation, systemic or intra-articular corticosteroid administration and/or RA-related hospitalisation. Pregnancy outcomes were compared computing multivariable logistic marginal regression model using generalised estimating equation (GEE).
resultsWe included 11 792 RA and 10 413 681 non-RA pregnancies. Among RA pregnancies, 74.5% ended in live births and 0.4% in stillbirths. RA pregnancies resulted more frequently in preterm births (adjusted OR (OR
conclusionPregnancies in women with RA were associated with more adverse outcomes, especially if the disease was active. These findings should encourage physicians to closely monitor RA during this crucial period.
