Eighteen-Month Outcomes Among Pregnant and Nonpregnant Reproductive-Aged People Hospitalized for Coronavirus Disease 2019.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Physiologic and immunologic adaptations in pregnancy may increase the risk of adverse outcomes from respiratory viral infections. However, data are limited on longer-term outcomes after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnancy prior to widespread vaccine availability. Methods: Using electronic health record data, we retrospectively compared 6-, 12-, and 18-month outcomes including death and rehospitalization between pregnant and nonpregnant reproductive-aged individuals hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection between 2020 and 2021 at 2 academic referral hospitals. Results: There were 190 nonpregnant and 70 pregnant participants. Mean age was 31 years for pregnant and 34 years for nonpregnant participants. For pregnant patients, mean gestational age at coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis was 36 weeks, 54% delivered by cesarean, and 97% delivered a live birth. Compared to pregnant participants, nonpregnant participants had a higher prevalence of baseline comorbidities and a higher proportion received mechanical ventilation (84% vs 55%). Index hospitalization complications (31% vs 17%) and mortality (3% vs 0%) were more common in nonpregnant participants. Over 18 months following index hospitalization, 39 (21%) nonpregnant and 5 (7%) pregnant participants were readmitted, most for infection (28/44 [64%]). Most readmissions occurred within 6 months. There were no posthospitalization deaths in the pregnant group. Conclusions: Pregnant people with severe COVID-19 disease had a low rate of severe adverse outcomes after index hospitalization. The low readmission rate is reassuring that pregnant individuals may not be at higher risk for long-term severe adverse health outcomes after COVID-19 compared to the nonpregnant reproductive-aged population, possibly because any increased risk conferred by pregnancy resolves soon after delivery.
