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

objectiveEvaluate the association of APS and SLE, focusing on LN, with risk of pre-eclampsia (PE) and PE with severity criteria (PESC).

methodsAnalysis of pregnant women admitted between 2016-2022, using data from the Spanish Hospital Discharge Database. Factors associated with PE and PESC, including early-onset PE, severe PE, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome were evaluated.

resultsAmong 1 973 249 admissions, 1787 patients had SLE (9.1‰), with prior LN in 13.2%. SLE patients experienced higher PE (5.5% vs 2.1%) and PESC (2.1% vs 0.6%) rates; these rose further in SLE women with LN alone (PE: 10.3%, PESC: 4.2%) or with both LN and APS (PE: 22.7%, PESC: 9.1%) . Adjusted analyses showed PE and PESC were each associated with SLE (OR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.39-2.28; OR = 2.17, 95% CI 1.47-3.22), LN (OR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.18-3.19; OR = 2.45, 95% CI 1.18-5.09) and APS (OR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.28-1.84; OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.44-2.54). Within SLE patients, baseline hypertension (OR = 4.27, 95% CI 2.45-7.44), LN (OR = 2.06, 95% CI 1.26-3.37) and APS (OR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.03-3.32) were linked to PE, while LN alone predicted PESC (OR = 2.88, 95% CI 1.41-5.91).

conclusionThe risk of PE and PESC that patients with SLE exhibit is further amplified in those with a history of LN or APS. Recognizing SLE, APS and especially LN is crucial for precise risk stratification and tailored management to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
