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

backgroundThe relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cardiovascular outcomes among pregnant women has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Our aim is to assess the odds of cardiovascular disease and cardiac arrhythmias during hospital admissions for delivery and identify contributing factors associated with cardiovascular complications in pregnant women with IBD.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of data from the National Inpatient Sample, obtained from delivery admissions of pregnant women with and without IBD, identified via International Classification of Diseases codes, from 2009 to 2019. Using a regression model, we compared the odds of cardiovascular complications between these two groups, adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors as confounding variables.

resultsOur study included 71,361 pregnancies with IBD and 41,117,443 pregnancies without this condition. The incidence of IBD in pregnancy rose near three-fold increase over the decade. In comparison to pregnancies without IBD, those involving pregnant patients with IBD exhibited an increased likelihood of encountering cardiovascular complications, with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 1.37 (95% CI, 1.29-1.46). This heightened risk encompasses a range of conditions, including peripartum cardiomyopathy (AOR, 9.45; 95% CI, 3.86-23.15), cardiac arrhythmias (AOR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.59-2.60), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (AOR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.37-1.66), notably preeclampsia, eclampsia, and the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP syndrome). Pregnancies with IBD were also associated with three-fold higher odds of venous thromboembolism (AOR, 3.91; 95% CI, 1.45-10.48).

conclusionsPregnant patients with IBD had an increased odds of cardiovascular complications during delivery admissions, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and develop targeted prevention strategies for this high-risk population.
