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

The pandemic spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has affected 188 countries and territories. Altered physiological status during pregnancy makes a mother vulnerable to severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. The virus may be transmitted from mother to baby during antenatal period or postnatal period. Although the primary mode of transmission of the virus is by respiratory droplets, there is emerging evidence of in utero transmission from mother to foetus. In this rare case report, we describe one such episode of probable vertical transmission. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second systematically investigated Indian case, indicating in utero transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to foetus.
