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

Pregnancy after a lung transplant is relatively uncommon with a small number of cases in the literature. Here, a pre-pregnancy counselling appointment is described of a woman with a previous lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis planning pregnancy. The case highlights the clinical considerations before embarking on pregnancy. Pregnancy in a lung transplant recipient confers risk to the mother and fetus. It is critical to advise women on potential risks of pregnancy on lung transplant function, take the opportunity to undertake immunosuppressant tailoring (to avoid teratogenic complications) in conjunction with their specialist team with confirmation of stable allograft function before embarking on pregnancy. Risk stratification after careful consideration of the full history can help identify select individuals where pregnancy might be successful. Open discussion around the regular monitoring of lung function, screening for maternal-fetal complications and the risks are required.
