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
Objective: To evaluate clinical presentation and pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with Covid-19 infection in our local tertiary care from lower middle-income country. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Obstetrics & Gynecology department, Sheikh Saeed Memorial Hospital (SSMH) of The Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) from March 2020 to August 2021. Data of 422 admitted pregnant women with COVID-19 infection was retrieved for demographic and clinical information, laboratory tests, pregnancy outcome, and neonatal outcomes on RED-Cap and analyzed on SPSS 26. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate odds ratios (OR) for symptomology with categorical variables and feto-maternal outcome. Results: Of the total 422 pregnant women, 24.4% were symptomatic, 74.7% exhibiting mild symptoms. Largely reported symptoms were fever (71.8%), cough (36.9%) and body ache (35.0%); while odds of symptomatic COVID-19 infection was less in educated pregnant women (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.1-0.9) compared to uneducated. Amongst maternal comorbidities, odds of having symptomatic COVID-19 infection were 3.8 times (95% CI 1.1-13.0) in women with chronic hypertension and 5.5 times (95% CI 2.9-10.4) in women with diabetes. Symptomatic women had significantly greater incidence of miscarriages (p= 0.009), PPROM (p= 0.001), preterm birth (p= 0.000), preeclampsia (p= 0.000), placental abruption (p= 0.006) and maternal ICU admission (p= 0.000) than asymptomatic patients. Still birth was higher (6.4% vs 1.3%, p-value= 0.013) in symptomatic group. The odds of having severe maternal outcome were higher (OR=3.5; 95% CI 1.9-6.0) in symptomatic pregnant women. Conclusion: Majority of pregnant women were asymptomatic. Symptomatic women with COVID-19 infection had an increased risk of adverse feto-maternal outcome.
