Marfan syndrome is associated with increased risk for gynecologic disorders and maternal complications.
Review in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo determine whether patients with Marfan syndrome are at an increased risk for reproductive disorders.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted using the US collaborative network on the TriNetX research network of health care organizations. We included female patients aged 18-44 and identified a cohort of 4347 patients with Marfan syndrome (ICD-10 Q87.4). Our control cohort consisted of 16,424,990 patients without a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (ICD-10 Q79.6). The primary outcomes included gynecologic diagnoses such as dysmenorrhea and endometriosis, and our secondary outcomes included urogynecologic, fertility, and obstetric outcomes, all identified by ICD-10 codes. We conducted a relative risk analysis with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant.
resultsPatients with Marfan syndrome were at an increased risk for pelvic and perineal pain, dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis (all p <0.0001), dyspareunia (p =0.0009), leiomyoma (p =0.0076), polyp of female genital tract (p =0.016), urinary incontinence (p <0.0001), female genital prolapse (p =0.0006), fertility testing (p =0.0075), cesarean delivery (p =0.0003), gestational hypertension (p =0.0012), and pre-eclampsia (p =0.0024) compared to the control group following an adjusted, matched comparison.
conclusionsPatients with Marfan syndrome have an increased risk of numerous reproductive disorders and obstetric complications compared to patients without this diagnosis.
