Pregnancy outcomes of Fabry disease in Austria (PROFABIA)-a retrospective cohort-study.
Article in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with Fabry disease are not well described.
methodsRetrospective cohort-study of women with Fabry disease in Austria using a specific questionnaire and the Austrian Mother-Child Health Passport.
resultsOut of a total of 44 enrolled women (median age at study entry 44 years, p25: 30, p75: 51), 86.4% showed signs and symptoms of Fabry disease with an increase in pain burden during pregnancy, primarily in women with moderate pain before pregnancy. Thirty-two of 44 women with Fabry disease reported a total of 70 pregnancies (median age at first pregnancy 24 years, p25: 21, p75: 31), 61 (87.1%) of which resulted in 64 live births including 3 sets of twins, six miscarriages (8.6%) in five women, and three induced abortions (4.3%) in two women. Risk factors for poor maternal and foetal outcomes during pregnancy, overrepresented in our cohort as compared to the general population, were hypertension (n = 10, 16.4%), proteinuria (n = 17, 27.9%) and smoking (n = 24, 39.3%). Preeclampsia was reported in 7 pregnancies (11.5%). Fifty-one (79.7%) children were born at term and 13 (20.3%) were preterm (including one neonatal death), with a median gestational age of 39 weeks (p25: 38, p75: 40) and delivery by C-section in 15 pregnancies (24.6%). Thirteen (20.3%) children presented with low birth weight and 18 (28.1%) were small for their gestational age. In comparison to global and national data-sets, preeclampsia, prematurity, low birth weight, being small for their gestational age as well as inpatient stay were significantly more common in patients with Fabry disease.
conclusionsOur cohort-study in women with Fabry disease shows an increase of pain burden during pregnancies and clearly points to an increased risk for preeclampsia, prematurity, and neonates small for gestational age. With a substantial number of high-risk pregnancies, neonatal outcomes are somewhat worse in Fabry disease than in the general public. Thus, we provide valuable data enabling informed decision-making in pregnancy counselling for Fabry disease.
