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

backgroundPregnant patients are at high risk of maternal and fetal complications from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a surge in the development and repurposing of therapies for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Evidence is sparse on the efficacy and safety of these therapies in pregnant patients. Our objective was to describe adverse events (AEs) to COVID-19 therapeutics in pregnant patients.

methodsThis was a case series of AEs reported to the FDA ACMT COVID-19 ToxIC (FACT) Pharmacovigilance Project between November 23, 2020, and June 28, 2022. FACT is an ongoing toxicosurveillance project at 17 sites to proactively identify and report AEs associated with COVID-19 therapeutics. Abstracted information includes demographics, case narratives, exposure details, clinical information, pregnancy details, treatments, and outcomes.

resultsForty-six COVID-19-positive pregnant patients who developed AEs following COVID-19 therapeutics were reported to the FACT Pharmacovigilance Project over 19 months. The most reported medications were remdesivir in 22 patients (47.8%) and casirivimab/imdevimab in 8 patients (17.4%). Four patients (8.7%) had life-threatening clinical manifestation, and 16 patients (34.8%) required intervention to prevent permanent damage. The most common maternal and fetal events were elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (26.1%) and non-reassuring fetal heart patterns (20.0%), respectively.

conclusionsThis case series reports AEs of elevated serum alanine aminotransferase, maternal bradycardia, maternal hypothermia, non-reassuring fetal heart patterns, and emergent or unplanned cesarean sections following administration of several COVID-19 therapeutics. This study was not designed to definitely identify causation, and further study is needed to evaluate the causal role of these therapeutics in AEs affecting pregnant COVID-19 patients.
