Pregnant women with COVID-19: the placental involvement and consequences.
Review in Journal of molecular histology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
SARS-CoV-2, the leading cause of COVID-19 pandemic, was detected for the first time in Wuhan. In this study, we investigated the potential undesirable maternal and feto-neonatal consequences of COVID-19, and the related pathophysiological alterations in mother, neonate, and especially in the placenta as a vital organ, were reviewed. Also, the possibility of vertical transmission of virus and placental abnormalities were evaluated. The pregnant women were a vulnerable population for COVID-19, and several obstetric consequences were reported following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The higher risk of abruption, preterm labor, maternal death, stillbirth, intrauterine growth restriction, and newborns with fetal distress were adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of COVID-19. Despite the ACE2 expression on placental components was confirmed, there is no agreement on the mother-child vertical transmission of this virus. Therefore, feto-neonatal consequences might be associated with placental abnormalities. The placental abnormalities are characterized by feto-maternal vascular malperfusion. Additionally, these adverse consequences lead to early termination of pregnancy in some cases, mostly via cesarean section. The pregnant women screening, coordination between healthcare personnel and neonatal unit, and infected women quarantine may decrease the risk of maternal and neonatal death after delivery.
