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

backgroundThe risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in pregnant women is elevated.

aimTo examine the outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 and report perinatal outcomes and complications, while providing a brief review of current literature.

methodsThe study included pregnant women presenting from April 2020 to February 2022 to the emergency department (ED) of a tertiary hospital. We retrospectively recorded the maternal and perinatal files, including patient epidemiological and clinical characteristics, laboratory values, outcomes, treatment modalities and associations were explored.

resultsAmong the 60 pregnant women, 25% required hospitalization, all of whom were symptomatic. Preterm delivery occurred in 30% of cases. Ten percent of neonates required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, and 5% were classified as small for their gestational age. All mothers survived COVID-19 and pregnancy, with 6.6% requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Preterm delivery rates did not differ between hospitalized and non-hospitalized pregnant women; composite unfavorable perinatal outcomes, including stillbirth, small for gestational age, or neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) admission, did not significantly increase in the cases hospitalized for COVID-19 (

conclusionDelayed ED presentation and comorbidities increase hospitalization odds. This study highlights the importance of continuous and specific guidance for managing pregnant COVID-19 patients, including timely and appropriate interventions to minimize maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
