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

Introduction: The effects of drug addiction in pregnancy are associated with multiple maternal, fetal and neonatal risks in the short and long term. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted in the National Institute for Maternal and Child Health "Alessandrescu-Rusescu" Bucharest, Romania - "Polizu" Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology (higher level maternity hospital), includes newborns from the last 22 years (2002-2024) from mothers who used illicit drugs before and during pregnancy. Results: The incidence of newborns born to mothers with drug addiction has steadily increased over the period studied, especially in the last 12 years. Neonatal morbidity was marked by: withdrawal syndrome (61.2% of cases), risk of congenital/perinatal infections through maternal infections (58.16%), prematurity (43.87%), birth weight ≤2500g (55.10%), intrauterine growth restriction. Conclusions: Illicit drug use in pregnancy, associated with prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction, neonatal withdrawal syndrome, risk of congenital/perinatal infections through maternal infections, is an important risk factor for neonatal morbidity and mortality.
