Venous thromboembolism as a cause of severe maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States.
Review in Seminars in perinatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
In the U.S., deaths due to pulmonary embolism (PE) account for 9.2% of all pregnancy-related deaths or approximately 1.5 deaths per 100,000 live births. Maternal deaths and maternal morbidity due to PE are more common among women who deliver by cesarean section. In the past decade, the clinical community has increasingly adopted venous thromboembolism (VTE) guidelines and thromboprophylaxis recommendations for pregnant women. Although deep vein thrombosis rates have decreased during this time-period, PE rates have remained relatively unchanged in pregnancy hospitalizations and as a cause of maternal mortality. Changes in the health profile of women who become pregnant, particularly due to maternal age and co-morbidities, needs more attention to better understand the impact of VTE risk during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
