Two Cases of Q Fever in Pregnancy, including Management of the Newborn, Australia.
Review in Emerging infectious diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Optimal management of the birthing parent with Q fever in pregnancy and of the infant has not been established. Coxiella burnetii expresses a tropism for the placenta; resulting infection can potentially lead to spontaneous abortion and fetal demise. Although evidence around preventing transmission and infection in the peripartum and postpartum period is lacking, reports of healthy babies born to mothers with acute or chronic Q fever in pregnancy are increasing. Historically, many clinicians have recommended against breastfeeding in this setting because of a theoretical risk for bacterial transmission through breastmilk. We discuss 2 women in Australia who had Q fever in pregnancy, focusing on the peripartum period and infant management. Breastfeeding was encouraged in both cases. Both infants were born healthy and at term and have demonstrated no serologic or clinical evidence of Q fever infection in the first year of life.
