Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus or neonate: What to know and what to do?
Review in Seminars in fetal & neonatal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
SARS-CoV-2 can be vertically transmitted from the mother to the fetus and the neonate. This transmission route is rare compared to the environmental or horizontal spread and therefore, the risk can be deemed inconsequential by some medical providers. However, severe, although just as rare, feto-neonatal consequences are possible: fetal demise, severe/critical neonatal COVID-19 and multi-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-N) have been described. Therefore, it is important for the clinicians to know the mechanism of vertical transmission, how to recognize this, and how to deal with neonatal COVID-19 and MIS-N. Our knowledge about this field has significantly increased in the last three years. This is a summary of the pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapeutics of vertical SARS-CoV-2 transmission that clinicians apply in their clinical practice.
