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
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare systems worldwide, including obstetric care. However, the long-term effects on twin pregnancies remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical characteristics and antibiotic prescribing patterns in hospitalized twin pregnancies. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China, involving 3,827 twin pregnancies with live deliveries between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2022. The pre-pandemic group included 1,707 patients, and the pandemic group included 2,120. Sociodemographic and clinical data were analyzed using general linear models with SPSS and R software. Results: During the pandemic, twin pregnancy admissions increased by 24.19%. Patients in the pandemic group have less gestational weight gain (17.00 vs. 16.08 kg, Conclusion: COVID-19 influenced twin pregnancy admissions, clinical characteristics, and antibiotic use. The study highlights the need for rational antibiotic use and improved healthcare resource management in future crises.
