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

backgroundIntrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP) is a pregnancy-related liver disease associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including spontaneous preterm labour, fetal hypoxia, meconium-stained liquor and intrauterine death. In women with IHCP, comorbidities may be associated with a greater risk of stillbirth. Recent studies have suggested that cholestasis of pregnancy may be associated with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM).

objectiveThis scoping review aims to comprehensively investigate the nature and strength of the association between Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (IHCP) and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). The review also seeks to identify common risk factors contributing to the association and explore potential adverse effects associated with the concurrent presence of IHCP and GDM. The findings will inform clinical practice and guide future research initiatives in understanding and managing these pregnancy-related conditions.

methodsThe scoping review followed the guidelines of Arksey, and O'Malley established in 2005, as well as modifications made to them by Levac et al. in 2010. The PRISMA Scoping review guidance shall be followed in reporting this study. Eight different databases are proposed to search, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, the American Diabetes Association, and the Wiley Online Library. Additionally, focused searches within the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) will be conducted, and citation pearl indexing performed.
