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

objectiveA comprehensive review of maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies in females with cystic fibrosis (fwCF) following the introduction of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) therapy in a novel, dedicated CF-Maternal Health service.

designRetrospective data review from a CF-Maternal Health service between September 2020 and February 2025.

settingA large adult-CF service in London, UK. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Pregnant fwCF attending the Royal Brompton Hospital CF Service.

methodsReview of CF-Maternal Health service data.

main outcome measuresMaternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes.

resultsFifty-three fwCF completed 67 pregnancies, with 69 infants born. There were no stillbirths, neonatal or maternal deaths. ETI-therapy was reported in 81% of pregnancies. In fwCF without CF-Diabetes, 57% developed gestational diabetes. Hospital admission to treat an infective pulmonary exacerbation was required in 31% of pregnancies. Forty-five percent of pregnancies delivered vaginally; 78% of babies were born at term. A major congenital abnormality was diagnosed in 4% of infants. Baseline lung-function correlated positively with birth-weight and gestation at birth.

conclusionsFwCF have improved maternal, obstetric and neonatal outcomes since the introduction of ETI-therapy, within a dedicated CF-Maternal Health service.
