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

To estimate incidence of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission among infants born to women receiving COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy versus among infants born to unvaccinated women. We matched full-term infants from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry (C19VPR) to full-term infants from CDC's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) with participant report of NICU admission available. We used 1:1 convenience sampling to match by maternal age, race, and ethnicity (n = 5,487 pairs). Adjusted incidence ratios (aIR) for NICU admission were calculated using Poisson regression; sensitivity analyses included a state-based match. NICU admission incidence was lower among C19VPR infants than PRAMS infants (7.7% vs 11.3%, aIR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.65, 0.99). The highest aIR estimate generated through sensitivity analyses was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.67, 1.11). No evidence for an increased risk of NICU admission was found among infants born to vaccinated versus unvaccinated women.
