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

Pregnancy is associated with a wide range of cutaneous changes. Some are physiological and triggered by normal hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy. There are also a small number of pathological pruritic eruptions that exclusively occur during pregnancy, known as pregnancy-specific dermatoses (PSDs). In patients presenting with a PSD, features often include severe pruritus and characteristic inflammatory skin changes differing in onset, morphology and configuration. This article gives an overview of benign dermatological changes during pregnancy and the most important presentations of PSDs in order of prevalence: atopic eruption of pregnancy, polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, pemphigoid gestationis and pustular psoriasis of pregnancy. Importantly, we outline how a resident physician can identify these disorders, how to initiate management and when a specialty referral for further investigations and monitoring of the mother and unborn fetus is warranted.
