Association Between Pregnancy and Symptomatic Hemorrhage in Women With Brainstem Cavernous Malformations and Bleeding in the Preceding Year: A Prospective Multicenter Study.

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.
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 association between pregnancy and the risk of symptomatic hemorrhage (SH) in brainstem cavernous malformations remains uncertain. We aimed to quantify the risk of pregnancy-associated SH in women with brainstem cavernous malformations.
methodsWe analyzed women with brainstem cavernous malformations in a prospective registry (2016-2022) experiencing pregnancy after enrollment. Follow-up was divided into pregnancy-associated segments (pregnancy plus ≤6 weeks postpartum or postabortion) and nonpregnant segments. Primary analysis used case-crossover models; propensity score-matched analyses assessed robustness.
resultsAmong 63 women (median age, 30.0 years), 53 (84.1%) had bled before enrollment, including 45 (71.4%) with SH in the preceding year. Prospectively, they contributed 72 pregnancies and 371.7 patient-years, observing 34 SHs. The pregnancy annual SH rate was 20.4% versus 7.2% nonpregnant (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 2.56, 95% CI, 1.11-5.93;
conclusionsPregnancy is associated with an elevated SH risk in women with brainstem cavernous malformations, specifically among those with SH in the preceding year. Because of selection bias, generalizability to asymptomatic or incidental lesions is limited, warranting cautious extrapolation.
