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
objectiveTo compare mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and use of invasive ventilatory support in hospitalized pregnant and nonpregnant women with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to Coronavirus-2 in Brazil.
methodsIt is a cross-sectional study developed with data from the Brazilian Surveillance of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Ministry of Health. Three outcomes were investigated: mortality, ICU admission, and use of invasive ventilatory support among COVID-19 cases. Hospitalized pregnant and nonpregnant women were paired according to age group, geographic region, and epidemiological week (33,113 nonpregnant women; 15,567 pregnant women) from March 2020 to March 2022. Associations between pregnancy status and outcomes were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. For 2021 data, an interaction term with vaccination status (no/yes) was included.
resultsMortality (17.6 vs 7.9%), ICU admission (30.3 vs 26.1%), and invasive ventilatory support use (46.6 vs 38.5%) were higher among nonpregnant women, respectively. ICU admission was highest in the second trimester of pregnancy (32.6%). Being in the second trimester increased the likelihood of ICU admission (OR=1.26; 95%CI 1.15-1.39) compared to nonpregnant women. The odds of ICU admission was lower among vaccinated pregnant women in the first (OR=0.71; 95%CI 0.51-0.96), second (OR=0.74; 95%CI 0.62-0.88), and third trimesters (OR=0.65; 95%CI 0.57-0.74).
conclusionAll three outcomes were more frequent among hospitalized nonpregnant women, except for ICU admission in the second trimester. COVID-19 vaccination has proven to be an important protective measure, particularly for pregnant women in the second and third trimesters.
