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

backgroundThe lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed some restrictions on hospital activities, requiring medical staff to find efficient alternatives to ensure adequate medical care for patients.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the experience of pregnant women who delivered during the first wave of COVID-19, and to evaluate the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions. STUDY

designThis was a retrospective multicenter study. All pregnant women who delivered a live infant between March 20, 2020 and June 20, 2020 were evaluated using a 35-item survey at 1 year following delivery. Each patient was contacted via 3 modalities. Patients who reported that their prenatal follow-up was interrupted were compared with those who reported that their prenatal follow-up was unchanged. Among 1096 patients who delivered a live infant across the 3 participating centers during the study period, 389 responses were needed for an estimated margin of error of 4%.

resultsA total of 469 of 1096 (42.8%) patients answered the survey, of whom 151 (32.2%) reported that the follow-up of their pregnancy was interrupted (exposed group) and 318 (67.8%) reported that their follow-up was maintained as normal (unexposed group). The rate of presentation to the emergency department was higher in the exposed group than in the unexposed group (

conclusionInterruption and modification of antenatal follow-up in pregnant women is associated with patient dissatisfaction and increased presentation to the emergency department.
