Neonatal Effects of Maternal Magnesium Sulphate in Late Preterm and Term Pregnancies.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimTo compare the clinical, obstetric and neonatal parameters between patients with > 34-week gestation having severe preeclampsia receiving magnesium sulphate and those with > 34-week gestation with preeclampsia but not receiving magnesium sulphate. MATERIALS AND
methodsSingle-centre prospective study studied 60 patients in each of the two groups. Magnesium sulphate was administered by Pritchard regimen as per standard protocol. Standard obstetric management was followed for both groups. In the severe preeclampsia/eclampsia group, maternal blood sample was analysed for serum magnesium levels. The duration of exposure, the amount of magnesium sulphate received and time elapsed between last dose of magnesium sulphate and delivery were all noted. Neonatal assessment was done. The various parameters including age, parity, blood pressure, mode of termination of pregnancy, NICU admission rate, incidence of hypotonia in the newborn and other neonatal parameters were tabulated and compared.
resultsThe two groups were comparable with respect to age and parity. Need for induction of labour was higher in the group with severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. Rate of LSCS and birth weights were comparable between the two groups. NICU admission rate and incidence of hypotonia were higher in those who received magnesium sulphate. Amount of magnesium sulphate received and total duration of magnesium sulphate did not correlate with NICU admission rates.
conclusionsNeonatal morbidity, in terms of higher NICU admission rates and hypotonia, is higher in patients receiving magnesium sulphate.
