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

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) commonly affects women of childbearing age and may complicate pregnancy. This study evaluated disease activity, treatment patterns, and pregnancy outcomes among women with IBD in Qatar. Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study at a multidisciplinary Obstetric-IBD clinic in Doha including 97 pregnant women with confirmed IBD (November 2019-October 2023). Demographics, IBD characteristics, medication use, disease activity (CDAI for Crohn's, Mayo score for ulcerative colitis), and pregnancy outcomes were retrieved from electronic records. Associations were analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's exact tests, and logistic regression, with significance set at Results: Of 97 women, 56.7% had ulcerative colitis (UC) and 43.3% Crohn's disease (CD). Pregnancy outcomes did not differ significantly between UC and CD ( Conclusion: Remission and continuation of therapy during pregnancy were strongly associated with favorable outcomes. These results emphasize that maintaining remission and adhering to therapy both contribute independently to improved maternal and neonatal outcomes. The findings support the safety of continuing therapy and highlight the need for multidisciplinary care to optimize health outcomes.
