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

The COVID-19 pandemic posed major challenges in obstetric care due to altered maternal physiology and coagulation abnormalities, increasing transfusion requirements in pregnant women. Blood and blood component transfusion remains essential for managing anemia, obstetric hemorrhage and sepsis. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the pattern and indications of blood and blood component utilization in COVID-positive pregnant women and compared them with the pre-COVID era. Packed red cells were the most frequently transfused component, followed by fresh frozen plasma and platelets during the pandemic. The observed change in utilization shows COVID- 19-related coagulopathy for adequate availability of blood components during pandemics.
