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

objectivePregnant women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases are considered to have a high risk of obstetric complications with the emergence of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Therefore, we aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on this high-risk group.

methodsThis cross-sectional cohort study (March to December 2020) was conducted at the largest tertiary center in Qatar (Hamad Medical Corporation). Eighty consecutive patients following up at the center during pregnancy were surveyed through telephonic interviews. Data on COVID-19 and pregnancy outcomes were extracted from electronic hospital records.

resultsEighty pregnant women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases were included. Among them, 17 (21.3%) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.9-31.8%) were diagnosed with COVID-19, five were hospitalized, and only one required intensive care unit admission. The proportion of adverse obstetric outcomes in the cohort was 29.5% (n = 23; 95% CI: 19.7-40.9%). Prematurity (n = 14; 19.4%) and caesarean section (n = 30; 41.1%) were the most prevalent adverse events. There was no statistical difference in adverse pregnancy outcomes between women with and without COVID-19.

conclusionCOVID-19 did not affect pregnancy outcomes in women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
