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

purposeCerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are uncommon neurologic events in women of childbearing age. We aimed to compare pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes between women who suffered from a CVA and those who experienced a TIA.

methodsA retrospective population-based cohort study was performed using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Included were all pregnant women who delivered or had a maternal death in the US between 2004 and 2014. We compared women with an ICD-9 diagnosis of a CVA before or during pregnancy to those diagnosed with a TIA before, during the pregnancy, or during the delivery admission. Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups, using multivariate logistic regression to control for confounders.

resultsAmong 9,096,788 women in the database, 898 met the inclusion criteria. Of them, 706 women (7.7/100,000) had a CVA diagnosis, and 192 (2.1/100,000) had a TIA diagnosis. Women with a CVA, compared to those with a TIA, had a higher rate of pregnancy-induced hypertension (aOR 3.82,95%CI 2.14-6.81, p < 0.001); preeclampsia (aOR 2.6,95%CI 1.3-5.2, p = 0.007), eclampsia (aOR 13.78,95% CI 1.84-103.41, p < 0.001); postpartum hemorrhage (aOR 4.52,95%CI 1.31-15.56, p = 0.017), blood transfusion (aOR 5.57,95%CI 1.65-18.72, p = 0.006), and maternal death (54 vs. 0 cases, 7.6% vs. 0%), with comparable neonatal outcomes.

conclusionWomen diagnosed with a CVA before or during pregnancy had a higher incidence of myriad maternal complications, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, and death, compared to women with a TIA diagnosis, with comparable neonatal outcomes, stressing the different prognoses of these two conditions, and the importance of these patients' diligent follow-up and care.
