Observational cohort study of perinatal outcomes of women with COVID-19.
Observational study in Journal of infection and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundUnderstanding the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnancy outcomes and of pregnancy on COVID-19 outcomes is critical for ensuring proper prenatal and antenatal care. No similar studies have been published in Saudi Arabia.
methodsWe performed a prospective cohort study of pregnant women with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection who presented at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. COVID-19 staging was performed, pregnancy-related complications were assessed, and neonatal infection was evaluated.
resultsWe enrolled 81 patients (mean age 31.75 years, SD 5.25) of which there were 17 cases in the first trimester, 20 in the second trimester, and 34 in the third trimester. The distribution of COVID-19 severity was 40 patients with Stage A, 36 with Stage B, 4 with Stage C, and 1 with Stage D. Complications were pregnancy loss in 2 patients (one in each first and second trimester) and 1 fetal death after 20 weeks of pregnancy, 7 patients with fetal growth restriction, and 8 with pre-term delivery.
conclusionsWe did not observe an unusual frequency of pregnancy-related complications due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in this high-risk obstetric population and there was no evidence of vertical transmission in newborns from women who delivered while positive for the virus.
