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

Acetaminophen (acetaminophen, APAP), alternatively referred to as paracetamol, is generally accepted as a safe pharmacologic choice to treat pain and fever during pregnancy. This review examines the prevalence and patterns of acetaminophen use during pregnancy and the historical context behind this widespread use. We discuss the emerging and controversial data linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse effects on the fetus and offspring. Furthermore, we draw on mechanistic evidence from preclinical studies and observational clinical studies that support the hypothesis that in addition to the fetus and newborn, there is a potential impact of acetaminophen on the placenta. We draw on mechanistic data from pre-clinical experiments and observational data from clinical studies to assess the association between APAP exposure and placental cellular injury, preeclampsia, and growth restriction. We conclude that additional research is needed to ensure the most informed pharmacologic management of pain and fever during pregnancy.
