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

purposeThe aim of this study was to collect and analyze information from pregnancies of organ transplanted women and partners of organ transplanted men. The goal was to enhance counseling regarding pregnancy planning and management and to enable more targeted monitoring to improve maternal and child health.

methodsIn this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, women and men aged 18 to 45 who had undergone organ transplantation in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland were surveyed about their pregnancies before and after transplantation by using a self-developed questionnaire.

resultsEven through transplanted women planned their pregnancies more carefully than before transplantation, they still experienced more pregnancy complications afterward. The live birth rate for pregnancies of partners of transplanted men, especially men who received a thoracic organ, was lower compared to before transplantation. Furthermore, this study showed that pregnancies of the partners of male transplant recipients occurred significantly less by spontaneous conception in comparison to pregnancies of transplanted women.

conclusionPregnancies after organ transplantation are possible but associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications. Therefore, early counseling for transplanted women and men who wish to have children, along with extensive monitoring during pregnancy, is necessary.
