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

Individuals at high risk for pregnancy-associated morbidity and mortality have unique needs for reproductive health services, including abortion care. Legal restrictions on abortion care in many states make it challenging or impossible for clinicians to practice standard-of-care, evidence-based medicine and for institutions to implement evidence-based clinical guidelines for reproductive healthcare. This Special Statement suggests actions clinicians and institutions can take to build consensus and create systems to ensure patients can receive optimal care. In addition, it addresses counseling about maternal and fetal health that (1) recognizes that risk and patient preferences may change or evolve during pregnancy; (2) incorporates informed patient preferences in a shared decision-making process between the patient and provider; and (3) includes abortion among the options for pregnancy management. We also discuss how abortion restrictions affect training, which will result in shortages of skilled providers who can offer the level of care needed for high-risk pregnancies. Abortion care is a core component of practice for maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists, both to reduce the burden of maternal morbidity and mortality and to operationalize reproductive justice for pregnancy-capable people.
