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

Cord blood collection for stem cell storage remains a popular procedure due to the advantages associated to it. In the last ten years, the therapeutic potential of umbilical cord stem cells was demonstrated in the treatment of bone pathologies, neuropsychiatry, metabolic and genetic diseases. There are several factors with direct influence on the quality and quantity of cord blood collection for stem cell storage. The collection principles should be individualized according to the maternal and fetal characteristics. Furthermore, in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, additional information can be obtained through this procedure. We present a specific case-adapted strategy for the collection of umbilical cord blood and its application in analyzing the transplacental transfer of maternal COVID-19 antibodies after vaccination. We suggest that the informed consent offered to the future parents prior to the procedure should include the history of COVID-19 during pregnancy, the vaccination status of the mother and the gestational age at the time when this event occurred.
