Antiphospholipid antibody production in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection and its impact on maternal and fetal outcomes.

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
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) in pregnant women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and their impact on maternal-fetal outcomes, with an emphasis on gestational stage-specific differences and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) positivity. Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics, Peking University People's Hospital, from December 2022 to January 2023. Eligible participants were singleton pregnant women without pre-existing pregnancy complications who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Serum samples were collected 2-4 weeks post-infection for testing of aPLs, including LAC, anti-β2-glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI), and anticardiolipin antibodies. Maternal and fetal outcomes were monitored according to standard prenatal care protocols, with specific attention to placental dysfunction related complications. Results: The overall prevalence of aPLs in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 was 18.75%. All positive cases were single-antibody positive, either for aβ2GPI or LAC, with no instances of multiple antibody co-positivity. The prevalence of aPLs was significantly correlated with the gestational stage at the time of infection, rising from 5.88% in the first trimester to 16.00% in the second trimester and 26.31% in the third trimester ( Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy significantly increases the prevalence of aPLs, with a pattern that is dependent on the gestational stage. Positivity for aPLs, particularly LAC, is an independent risk factor for complications related to placental dysfunction. Our findings suggest that pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, especially those in the third trimester, should undergo aPLs screening 2-4 weeks post-infection, along with enhanced monitoring for placental dysfunction, there should be vigilant surveillance of infection status, coagulation function, and appropriate obstetric management.
