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
Aims: With a growing population of women with congenital heart disease (CHD), pregnancies in this group are expected to increase. However, pregnancy in women with CHD is associated with increased adverse outcomes for both mother and child. The aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy and foetal complications in women with CHD and to test their association with the modified WHO (mWHO) classification. Methods and results: Using two national registers, the national register for CHD and the Pregnancy Register, primiparous women giving birth between 2014 and 2019 were identified. Women with CHD, Conclusion: Pregnancy complications are more common in women with CHD. In women with CHD, the mWHO classification is associated with maternal complications and preterm birth. Thus, large national register data corroborate the advice provided in current guidelines, and the mWHO class is deemed a valuable risk stratification tool in women with CHD.
