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

objectiveTo examine the relationship between gestational COVID-19 and perinatal-neonatal outcomes. STUDY

designProspective cohort study. Neonates born at Hospital del Mar (Barcelona) between 2020 and 2022 were classified into two cohorts according to their mother's COVID-19 status during pregnancy. Prenatal and postnatal variables were compared between the COVID-19 and the control cohort, and depending on timing and severity of maternal infection.

resultsWe included 2701 neonates and observed higher rates of respiratory distress (5.7% vs 3.3%, p = 0.044) and pathological jaundice (7.7% vs 4.1%, p = 0.007) in the COVID-19 cohort, without differences between trimesters. We did not find statistically significant differences in other perinatal outcomes. The logistic regression analyses showed that maternal COVID-19 was not a risk factor for prematurity (OR:1.23;CI:0.75-2.03; p = 0.407).

conclusionsInfants born to mothers with COVID-19 during pregnancy in our hospital showed higher rates of respiratory distress and pathological jaundice, without increased rates of prematurity or other morbidities.
