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

Brivudine is a thymidine analogue antiviral agent used in the treatment of herpes zoster; however, human data regarding its use during pregnancy are lacking. This report aims to describe pregnancy outcomes following oral brivudine exposure and to provide the first human clinical data on brivudine use during pregnancy. Two pregnant women exposed to oral brivudine during the first and second trimesters were referred for teratological risk assessment and followed with perinatal monitoring and postnatal clinical follow-up. Both pregnancies were continued with perinatological follow-up and resulted in the delivery of healthy infants without major congenital malformations. Postnatal follow-up identified mild allergic manifestations in one child and an isolated mild delay in the personal-social developmental domain in the other. These cases provide preliminary clinical data on brivudine exposure during pregnancy and contribute to the limited human data available.
