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

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a catastrophic consequence of labor and delivery that often results in maternal and neonatal death. These poor outcomes are related largely to the rarity of the event in a population overwhelmingly biased by overall good health. Despite the presence of national AFE registries, there are no published algorithmic approaches to its management, to our knowledge. The purpose of this article is to share a care pathway developed by a multidisciplinary group at a community teaching hospital. Post hoc analysis of a complicated case of AFE resulted in development of this pathway, which addresses many of the major consequences of AFE. We offer this algorithm as a template for use by any institution willing to implement a clinical pathway to treat AFE. It is accompanied by the remarkable case outcome that prompted its development.
