A review of neonatal lupus syndrome.
Review in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This review article discusses neonatal lupus syndrome (NLS), an immune-mediated disease caused by maternal antibodies. Maternal antibodies in the fetal circulation are mostly but not always protective. NLS is a disease caused by pathogenic maternal autoantibodies in the fetal circulation. The passive immunization of the fetus by NLS-causing maternal antibodies may occur in the absence of a previously known maternal systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD). Screening for NLS-related antibodies in patients with related SARD or those in whom there is a risk of NLS including first-degree relatives should occur before pregnancy. This screening is best performed as part of a collaborative relationship between obstetrics and rheumatology. Pregnancy preparations in those with SARD include transitioning to pregnancy-safe medications. The symptoms of NLS range from minor skin rashes to fetal demise from heart block. Fetal screening allows for maternal therapeutic interventions that may be beneficial, as well as the use of fetal pacemakers in the more severe cases that include cardiac NLS.
