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

Throughout pregnancy, the immune microenvironment undergoes dynamic changes in patients with concomitant autoimmune diseases (AIDs). These alterations not only affect disease activity and clinical manifestations, but also play a pivotal role in sustaining maternal-fetal immune tolerance and pregnancy outcomes. Extensive preclinical studies have elucidated the mechanisms of immune regulation in normal pregnancy, whereas the dynamic immune changes in pregnancies complicated by AIDs remain poorly understood. Recent studies have revealed significant variations in immune responses to pregnancy among individuals with AIDs, which may contribute to distinct patterns of AIDs flares during this period. Despite substantial progress in immunology and reproductive medicine, comprehensive reviews addressing the dynamic changes in the immune microenvironment during pregnancy in the context of AIDs are lacking. In this review, we summarize existing knowledge and incorporate recent multidisciplinary findings, focusing on the dynamic changes in systemic immune adaptation and maternal-fetal immune interactions in the context of AIDs during pregnancy. We emphasize the clinical significance of these immune dynamics for optimizing management and therapeutic strategies. Additionally, we propose new perspectives and provide recommendations to guide future research and the development of personalized treatment approaches.
