Maternal-Fetal Outcomes and Antibody Transfer, Depending on the Trimester of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Non-Vaccinated Women-A Danish Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study.

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
Passive maternal-fetal transfer of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies has been demonstrated, whilst the degree of transfer depending on the trimester of infection is lacking. Due to neonates' immature immune systems, this knowledge could be of interest when investigating the degree of early-life protection against SARS-CoV-2. For perinatal infections such as Rubella and Toxoplasmosis, the timing of infection related to gestational age is crucial for the severity of maternal-fetal outcomes; hence, the trimester of SARS-CoV-2 infection could potentially be crucial. So far, there is no stratification on all three trimesters of SARS-CoV-2 infection in relation to maternal antibody levels in SARS-CoV-2 positive women, and the degree of transfer of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to the newborn nor on obstetric and neonatal outcomes, which we examined in this study. Eleven departments in Denmark invited women who tested SARS-CoV-2 positive during pregnancy to participate with a blood sample and a cord blood sample at delivery. 459 SARS-CoV-2 positive women and 2567 SARS-CoV-2 negative women were included. A percentage of 87.5%, 95.3%, and 60.3% of newborns of women who tested positive in their first, second, and third trimester, respectively, had a significantly higher immunoglobin G (IgG) antibody level than their mother at delivery, indicating that the fetus is able to concentrate antibody levels or maintain the level of IgG antibodies transferred. None of the examined maternal-fetal outcomes were increased in women infected with SARS-CoV-2.
