Assessing adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with uncontrolled asthma vs. mild asthma: a retrospective comparative analysis.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2024. 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate perinatal outcomes between the uncontrolled asthma group and the mild asthma group and to reveal the relationship between disease severity and adverse maternal-fetal outcomes in this study.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 180 pregnant women diagnosed with asthma, hospitalized, and delivered at our center between September 1, 2019, and December 1, 2021. We compared two groups: 160 with mild asthma and 20 with uncontrolled asthma. Data encompassed maternal characteristics, obstetrical complications, medication use, emergency department admissions for exacerbations, smoking status, and neonatal outcomes.
resultsIn the uncontrolled asthma group, hospitalization rates, use of inhaled short-acting β-agonist (SABA), and systemic corticosteroids were significantly higher compared to the mild asthma group (p < 0.01). Maternal and fetal complications were more prevalent in the uncontrolled group, including asthma exacerbations (45% vs. 1.2%), anemia (10% vs. 4.4%), prematurity (25% vs. 9.6%), and intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) (10% vs. 0.6%). Neonatal outcomes in the uncontrolled group showed higher rates of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (50% vs. 25%), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (30% vs. 14%), and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (5% vs. 0%) compared to the mild asthma group.
conclusionUncontrolled asthma during pregnancy is associated with higher adverse maternal-fetal and neonatal outcomes compared to mild asthma.
