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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to document the clinical and laboratory characteristics and maternal and delivery outcomes of pregnant women with coronavirus disease 2019.

methodsWe retrospectively assessed pregnant women who had been admitted either with symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 or for delivery from March 2020 to January 2023. The participants were evaluated in two cohorts: the initial cohort included all pregnant women hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019, and the final cohort included those who delivered under the circumstances of coronavirus disease 2019.

resultsThe initial cohort included 295 pregnant women with symptomless (n=124, 42%), mild (n=122, 41.4%), moderate (n=18, 6.1%), and severe (n=31, 10.5%) coronavirus disease 2019. Among comorbidities, hypothyroidism (n=40, 13.6%) had the highest share. The most frequent laboratory abnormality was elevated D-dimer levels (94.6%). The final cohort included 193 women. Eight patients (4.1%) required intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Mortality occurred in five patients (2.6%). Out of 121 cesarean section (SC) deliveries, 61.2% were on an emergency basis. Rates of preterm, low birth weight, and stillbirth were 18.7%, 14.5%, and 3.1%, respectively. Moderate-severe coronavirus disease 2019 showed significant inverse correlations with delivery week, birth weight, and APGAR scores at 1 and 5 min (p<0.0001).

conclusionA considerable proportion of pregnant women with coronavirus disease 2019 experienced maternal and delivery complications, particularly preterm and low birth weight. Hypothyroidism had a notable share among comorbidities.
