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

The Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arbovirus (Peribunyaviridae: Orthobunyavirus) that traditionally causes febrile outbreaks in Latin America's Amazon region. Previously, OROV was not associated with severe pregnancy outcomes. During the 2022-2024 outbreak in Brazil, OROV expanded geographically, revealing links to adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study describes six cases with varied fetal outcomes, including miscarriage, antepartum, intrauterine fetal demise (IFD), and normal development, correlating with maternal symptoms but not symptom severity. Vertical transmission was confirmed by detecting OROV through RT-qPCR, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry in fetal tissues. Genome sequencing from an IFD case identified a novel reassortment pattern reported in the 2022-2024 outbreak. Severe encephalomalacia, meningoencephalitis, vascular compromise, and multi-organ damage were evident, underscoring the significant risk OROV poses to fetal development and emphasizing the need for further investigation.
