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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected healthcare systems worldwide, with significant collateral damage to vulnerable populations, including the perinatal population. This study sought to compare pregnancy-related complications before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran.
methodsThis retrospective data analysis was performed from February 20 to August 20, 2019 (prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic) and from February 20 to August 20, 2020 (during the pandemic), encompassing the initial wave of the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. To collect data, we utilized the medical records of 168,358 women obtained from the Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network, which is a comprehensive electronic health record database management system specifically designed to store information pertaining to maternal and neonatal health.
resultsA total of 168,358 medical records were analyzed, with 87388 (51.9%) and 80970 (48.1%) before and during the pandemic, respectively. The occurrence of pregnancy complications was found to be significantly more frequent during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Notably, there was a higher likelihood of experiencing preeclampsia (odds ratio [OR]=1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07‒1.22,
conclusionOur findings demonstrated a significant association between the COVID-19 pandemic and an escalation in adverse pregnancy outcomes, notably preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and CS deliveries. However, further research is warranted to gain a richer understanding of the intricate interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic and pregnancy complications. This is particularly crucial in light of the evolving landscape of new coronavirus variants.
