Fetomaternal Outcome Following Previous Spontaneous Abortion: An Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSpontaneous abortion (SAB, miscarriage) affects and may influence outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. This study aimed to assess maternal and fetal outcomes in women with a history of SAB who conceived a subsequent pregnancy. METHODOLOGY: A hospital‑based observational study was conducted at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, over 18 months. Ninety‑six women aged 18-35 years with at least one previous SAB were enrolled. Maternal outcomes (gestational hypertension, diabetes mellitus, placental complications, and mode of delivery) and fetal/neonatal outcomes (fetal growth retardation, birth weight, Apgar score, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission) were recorded. Comparisons were made between single (82, 85.4%) and recurrent (≥2 abortions; 14, 14.6%) subgroups.
resultsA total of 96 pregnant women with a history of SAB were included. The mean maternal age was 27.74 ± 4.81 years, and most participants were aged <30 years (65, 67.7%) and had conceived spontaneously (88, 91.7%). Recurrent SAB was present in 14 (14.6%) women. Gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational hypertension were observed in 17 (17.7%) and 12 (12.5%) women, respectively. Preterm delivery occurred in 12 (12.5%) pregnancies, while 58 (60.4%) women underwent cesarean section. Fetal growth restriction was identified in 12 (12.5%) cases, and NICU admission was required in 18 (18.8%) neonates. Low birth weight, low APGAR score, and meconium aspiration syndrome were each observed in 1 (1.0%) neonate, with no intrauterine deaths recorded. Recurrent abortion was associated with higher rates of preterm birth (21.4% vs. 11.0%;
conclusionsPregnancy after SAB generally results in favorable outcomes with no intrauterine deaths and high rates of normal birth weight and Apgar scores. However, clinically significant risks of gestational diabetes, hypertension, fetal growth retardation, high cesarean section rates, and NICU admissions persist. Structured antenatal surveillance and individualized care are recommended for this population.
