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
introductionin pregnant women, the symptoms of COVID-19 join those of the general population in most cases. However, like any population at risk, more serious symptoms can appear such as pneumonia or ARDS. In our study, we propose to define the clinical, biological and therapeutic characteristics as well as the management of a series of pregnant women suffering from COVID-19.
methodsthis is a prospective and descriptive study which brought together 11 pregnant patients affected by the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the gynecology-obstetrics department of Mohamed Tlatli hospital, Nabeul, Tunisia between 12
resultsthe average age is 31.18 years. Six patients were followed for a chronic disease. Gestational diabetes was the most common comorbidity. Contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 was identified in 6 patients. The average incubation period of the virus was 5.89 days. Average term of pregnancy was 33.36 weeks with amenorrhea. The preferred route of delivery was cesarean section. The most frequently reported symptoms were fever in all patients, dry cough, dyspnea and headache in nine patients. Two patients were subsequently treated in medical intensive care for a picture of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Both patients were put on high flow nasal oxygen therapy: Optiflow without the need for mechanical ventilation. In the remaining 9 cases, symptomatic treatment and antibiotic therapy were sufficient and the patients returned to their homes. We have had no mother-to-child transmission and no death. Breastfeeding does not seem to influence this transmission.
conclusionthe most frequently reported symptoms were fever in all patients, followed by dry cough, dyspnea and headache. There was no mother-to-child transmission, nor transmission during breastfeeding. In general, symptomatic and antibiotic treatment was sufficient. We are currently facing the second wave of the virus. Our efforts will have to be based on a better clinical knowledge of this new coronavirus and adapt a management function accordingly.
