Does remote COVID infection in pregnancy affect the placenta and pregnancy outcomes? - Results from a prospective cohort study (PLACENTA IN COVID/ PIC study).
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To study the rates of abnormal placentae and associated adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women who had COVID 19 infection during pregnancy, remote from delivery. To study the histopathological findings associated with these abnormal placentae. Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out, recruiting pregnant women with singleton gestation, who had COVID 19 infection during their pregnancy, remote from delivery between August 2021 to July 2022. Ethics approval was obtained by the Institutional Review Board. Abnormal placentae were identified as those with weight <10th centile and associated histopathological findings were noted . Rates of SGA (small for gestational age) babies and stillbirths were recorded. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) v 25. Results: Most of the 67 women in our cohort, had mild forms of COVID 19. Half had had infection in their second trimester. Among those infected in the third trimester, 93% were symptomatic. Gestational Diabetes was the most common associated medical condition. . Abnormal placentae were seen in 40%(n=27) of women. Half of these (15) were associated with SGA babies . Distribution of medical co morbidities was comparable among those with abnormal and healthy placentae. Most, 84%, SGA babies were born to mothers who had COVID <28 weeks GA. Conclusion: There is a small but significant risk of SGA babies being born to women who had COVID at<28 weeks, irrespective of medical comorbidities. Close monitoring of these pregnancies is, hence warranted.
