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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThis prospective cohort study assessed the impact of seasonal influenza during pregnancy on fetal and infant health outcomes.

methodsPregnant women with laboratory-confirmed influenza were matched (1:4) by age and pregnancy loss history with women without influenza from annual cohorts in Suzhou, China, during 2015-2018. Participants underwent twice-weekly follow-up for influenza illness, and medical records were linked to ascertain outcomes. Multivariable regression models were used to estimate associations.

resultsWe included 441 pregnant women with influenza and 1764 without it. Four (0.9%) in the influenza group had late pregnancy loss, whereas one (0.1%) in the non-influenza group did. Influenza was associated with late pregnancy loss (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 31.1, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.3-756.8,

conclusionsIn this cohort, influenza during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of late pregnancy loss and program-defined child health monitoring indicator in offspring, particularly overweight/obesity. Because the observed association with pregnancy loss was based on a small number of events and had a wide confidence interval, it should be interpreted cautiously and confirmed in larger studies. These findings are consistent with current recommendations supporting influenza vaccination during pregnancy to protect maternal and infant health.
