A Ranking of the Most Common Maternal COVID-19 Symptoms: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to devastate health systems worldwide, there is particular concern over the health and safety of one high-risk group, pregnant women, due to their altered immune systems. Since health workers regularly rely on symptoms to inform clinical treatment, it became critical to maintain a ranked list of COVID-19 symptoms specific to pregnant women. This systematic review investigated the prevalence of common COVID-19 symptoms in pregnant women and compared the ranked list of symptoms to articles of various sizes. Articles were included if they discussed pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 using polymerase chain reaction testing, and women present symptoms of COVID-19 and were published between December 1, 2019, and December 1, 2021; while articles were excluded if they did not report on pregnant women with COVID-19 displaying symptoms of COVID-19. Articles were identified on OVID MedLine and Embase in January of 2022. The risk of bias and quality appraisal was assessed using a nine-item modified Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklist for case-control studies. The search results included 78 articles that described 41,513 pregnant women with 42 unique COVID-19 symptoms. When ranked, the most common symptoms were found to be cough (10,843 cases, 16.02%), fever (7,653 cases, 11.31%), myalgia (6,505 cases, 9.61%), headache (5,264 cases, 7.78%), and dyspnea (5,184 cases, 7.66%). When compared to other articles in the literature with sample sizes of
