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

Alcohol consumption per capita is increasing, particularly among women of reproductive age. When consumed during pregnancy, it can induce spontaneous abortion and changes in neurodevelopment as it is a compound with high teratogenic potential. Studies have been performed to describe the effects of maternal-fetal alcohol exposure. This review aimed to identify and map knowledge about alcohol exposure during pregnancy and its effects on fetal neurodevelopment, based on an analysis of the 100 most cited articles. To achieve this goal, we performed a comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection database, employing a search strategy that included terms related to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The evaluated studies reported that there are no safe doses of alcohol exposure during pregnancy or by women trying to get pregnant, that the effects of alcohol intake are proportional to the dose and modality of exposure, that these damages occur in different brain regions, and that these effects are related to the period of neurodevelopment.
