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

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) during pregnancy is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, but evidence remains limited to heterogeneous case reports. We synthesized patient-level data from published and unpublished cases identified through systematic database searches and direct collaboration with centers in CCHF-endemic areas. We harmonized patient-level clinical, laboratory, obstetric, treatment, and outcome data for 55 pregnancies. The maternal mortality rate was 28.8% (15/52), and fetal loss occurred in 57.4% (31/54) of cases. Maternal mortality rates increased with advancing gestation, reaching 31.3% in the third trimester, but fetal loss was highest (85.7%) in the first trimester. Ribavirin treatment during the third trimester was associated with lower observed maternal mortality rates (odds ratio 0.33, 95% CI 0.13-0.84; p = 0.031). Our findings highlight gestational age-specific risks of CCHF and support the need for standardized management protocols and strengthened CCHF surveillance during pregnancy in endemic regions.
