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

Women with pre-existing cardiomyopathy experience high maternal and fetal complication rates when undergoing pregnancy. Different cardiomyopathy phenotypes and genetics can influence the presentation during pregnancy and help inform risk profile and management. This case series demonstrates the differing course of pregnancy in dilated, hypertrophic and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. The main complications managed were arrhythmia, rising left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and heart failure. The cases highlight important pre-conception considerations, the use of biomarkers, and pharmacological and device management during pregnancy, delivery and post-partum. It is important to recognise that cardiomyopathies represent a heterogeneous group of conditions with differing phenotypes which need individualised specialist care during pregnancy. Risk stratification and management by an expert multidisciplinary team are recommended to support these women to attain good maternal and fetal outcomes.
