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

Objective: To evaluate functional changes in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) during and after pregnancy. Method: This is part of an international observational questionnaire examining pregnancy outcomes of people with SCI. Parameters assessed included pain, fatigue and bladder function. Participants categorized functions as improved, no change, or worsened during pregnancy and based on longstanding differences following delivery. Descriptive analysis was used. Results: This analysis included 263 pregnancies beyond 20 weeks' gestation. Overall level and types of injuries, fatigue (66.7%), bladder function (65.9%), and edema (42.3%) were the most commonly reported aspects of functional health that worsened during pregnancy. Conclusions: Worsening fatigue and bladder function are the most common symptoms during pregnancy. Recovery is common in the post-partum period; however, nearly one-third of people experience longstanding changes. This study may provide guidance for pre-pregnancy consultation and inform expectations of pregnant people with SCI and their health care providers.
