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

Developments in medical and surgical techniques have improved survival in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) with most now surviving well into adulthood. Reproductive health amongst these women is underexplored and needs more attention. Women with CHD are known to have more menstrual dysfunction than the general population and have higher maternal and fetal risks when they become pregnant. Adequate and timely preconception counselling, including contraception within a multidisciplinary team (MDT) are essential to optimise pre pregnancy cardiac status and improve pregnancy outcomes. Counselling regarding fertility, sexuality, contraception and menopause is necessary and should start early, around 12-13 years, and as they transition into adult services. Fertility seems to be reduced in women with complex CHD and consideration for assisted reproduction technique (ART) should be assessed by the MDT as risks associated with ART including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, bleeding, thrombosis and infection can have profound effects on women with complex cyanotic CHD.
