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

backgroundThe safety of a 3-month weekly rifapentine-isoniazid (3HP) for tuberculosis prevention in HIV-positive pregnant women on antiretroviral treatment is unknown. As part of the WHIP3TB trial, 3HP administered once or annually for 2 years was compared to 6 months of isoniazid. We report outcomes among women who became pregnant, with drug exposure in early pregnancy.

methodsWomen were classified as exposed if conception occurred while taking study drug, and unexposed if conception occurred after the last dose. Outcomes included live birth, stillbirth, or abortion. A composite adverse pregnancy outcome was defined as any of the following: stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, low birth weight (<2500 g), preterm delivery (<37 weeks' gestation), or major congenital anomalies. Outcomes were compared between exposed and unexposed groups.

resultsAmong 2207 women aged 15-49 years enrolled between November 2016 and November 2017, 236 pregnancies occurred in 222 participants. Fifty-seven (24%) were exposed to study drug (51 in 3HP arm, 6 in 6 months of isoniazid arm) and 179 were unexposed. Median age was 32 years, median antiretroviral treatment duration 2.9 years (interquartile range; 1.2-4.9 years) and median CD4 count 522 cells/L; [interquartile range, 345-684). Of 219 pregnancies with known outcomes, 162 (74%) were live births, 51 (23%) abortions, and 6 (3%) stillbirths. Spontaneous abortions occurred at similar frequencies among exposed (12% [7/57]) and unexposed (14% [22/162]) groups with comparable rates of composite adverse outcomes (33% [19/57] vs 35% [56/162]).

conclusionsSpontaneous abortion and composite adverse pregnancy outcomes following first-trimester exposure to 3HP were comparable between exposed and unexposed groups, supporting the safety of 3HP in pregnancy.
