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

Considerable progress has been made to explain the aetiology of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and of the adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with high maternal total serum bile acids (TSBAs). The reported thresholds for non-fasting TSBA associated with the risk of stillbirth and spontaneous preterm birth can be used to identify pregnancies at risk of these adverse outcomes to decide on appropriate interventions and to give reassurance to women with lower concentrations of TSBA. Data also support the use of ursodeoxycholic acid to protect against the risk of spontaneous preterm birth. A previous history of ICP may be associated with higher rates of subsequent hepatobiliary disease: if there is a suspicion of underlying susceptibility, clinicians caring for women with ICP should screen for associated disorders or for genetic susceptibility and, where appropriate, refer for ongoing hepatology review.
