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

Background: Pregnancy requires a careful immune balance between tolerance for the semi-allogenic fetus and protection against pathogens. Women with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), where the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis plays an important role, often experience changes in disease severity during pregnancy. These changes and the association between disease flares and pregnancy complications, suggests a role for IL-17 and IL-23 in pregnancy. Methods: We systemically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science (March 2024), to assess the role of IL-17 and IL-23 in pregnancy-related Results: Eighty articles (8 Conclusions: We identified a large, but heterogenic, body of evidence for a significant role of IL-17 in all stages of pregnancy: while an excessive increase seemed to be associated with complications. The limited number of studies prevents firm conclusions on the role of IL-23. Future research is needed to find biomarkers for patients with IMIDs to predict the effect of possible disease flares on pregnancy, and the effect of therapeutic inhibition of IL-17 or IL-23.
