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

Introduction: The aim of this single center cohort study was to examine the possible effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially the Omicron variant, on outcome of pregnancy and birth after infertility treatment with assisted reproduction. Material and Methods: A total of 51 pregnancies and births after assisted reproduction were investigated in the period from 01/2022 to 12/2022 in a university fertility center with regards to SARS-CoV-2 infections and vaccination status. Eight multiple pregnancies were assessed separately. 20 women with singleton pregnancy had a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the six months prior to or during the pregnancy. This group was compared to 23 singleton pregnancies without SARS-CoV-2 infection or with infection had occurred more than six months before assisted reproduction. Results: The comparison of single pregnancy with or without SARS-CoV-2 showed no differences considering age or body mass index. Complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, placenta previa, placental insufficiency, and preterm labor were also comparable for both groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups with regards to gestational age at delivery, birth weight, birth mode, and APGAR scores. A comparison of the course of pregnancy in women with and women without basic immunization also showed no significant differences. Conclusion: In the study period of 2022, infection with SARS-CoV-2, in most cases with the Omicron variant, during or up to six months prior to a pregnancy following assisted reproduction did not significantly affect the risk of maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy from the 2nd trimester of pregnancy or the fetoneonatal outcome.
