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

Introduction: Epistaxis is common throughout pregnancy and is usually not a cause for concern; severe nosebleeds are rare. An increased rate of nasal bleeding was observed during the COVID-19 epidemic. Materials and Methods: The study sample comprised 3,362 pregnant women who sought care at the Gynecologic and Obstetrics Department/ Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital and Al-Karkh Maternity Hospital between May 2020 and April 2021. All were asked to fill out a questionnaire. Results: Nine hundred forty-one pregnant women experienced an episode of epistaxis during the last pregnancy. One thousand seven hundred forty-eight pregnant women had a corona-positive history. Pregnant women with a positive history of coronavirus infection have a higher incidence of epistaxis (612 pregnant women) than pregnant women with a corona-negative history (329 pregnant women) P value (0.039%). Conclusions: Oxygen and blood-thinning drugs are the leading causes of the increased rate of nosebleeds among pregnant women during the Corona pandemic.
