Obstetric and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with familial mediterranean fever: a comparative study.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is frequently diagnosed during reproductive ages, but its impact on pregnancy remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in FMF pregnancies by comparing before and after diagnosis periods as well as with healthy controls, and to identify predictors of adverse outcomes. This retrospective, cross-sectional study included 215 pregnancies (129 before and 86 after FMF diagnosis) from 81 women with FMF and 94 pregnancies from 42 healthy controls. Demographic data, disease characteristics, medications, and genetic mutations were recorded. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared, and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of adverse maternal outcomes. After FMF diagnosis, live birth occurred in 69 cases (80.2%), miscarriage in 15 (17.4%), and stillbirth in 2 (2.3%). In contrast, before diagnosis, live birth occurred in 104 cases (80.6%), miscarriage in 17 (13.4%), and stillbirth in 7 (5.4%). Among pregnancies after diagnosis, cesarean section was more frequent (38 cases, 53.5% vs. 29 cases, 25.9%, p < 0.001), as well as adverse maternal outcomes (58 cases, 67.4% vs. 63 cases, 48.8%, p = 0.007), compared to before diagnosis. Compared with controls, FMF patients showed no significant differences in maternal or neonatal outcomes. Among 86 pregnancies after diagnosis, colchicine was used in 66 (76.7%), and FMF flares were reported in 22 cases (31.9%) among pregnancies resulting in live birth, most commonly during the second trimester. Logistic regression identified older maternal age (OR 1.12, 95% CI: 1.02-1.25, p = 0.02) and disease flares before pregnancy (OR 6.96, 95% CI: 1.40-34.58, p = 0.02) as independent predictors of adverse maternal outcomes. Maternal and neonatal outcomes in FMF pregnancies were comparable to those in controls. Advanced maternal age and disease activity before conception were identified as independent predictors of adverse maternal outcomes.
