Another Fatality Due to Postpartum Group A Streptococcal Endometritis in the Modern Era.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a rare yet potentially lethal cause of postpartum endometritis. Atypical early presentation and the routine use of post-delivery analgesics which might mask the symptoms preclude timely diagnosis and appropriate management. The invasive disease usually follows a rapidly progressive course that has considerable morbidity and mortality. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS) can complicate this condition leading to refractory septic shock and possible death. We hereby present a case of a 42-year-old female patient who developed GAS postpartum endometritis complicated by streptococcal TSS resulting in death despite enormous resuscitative efforts. We aim to increase awareness of this lethal condition highlighting the importance of early recognition and prompt management.
