Treatment of superimposed preeclampsia on chronic hypertension in a twin pregnancy with automatic continuous positive airway pressure: a case report.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is related with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia. However, there are small studies about treatment of OSA with automatic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in adverse obstetric outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: We introduce a case of 34 year old twin pregnant woman diagnosed with superimposed preeclampsia on chronic hypertension at 28 + 1/7 weeks of gestation. A level III polysomnography showed obstructive sleep apnoea, and automatic CPAP was applied. After the CPAP treatment concomitant with an antihypertensive drugs, both blood pressure and urinary protein concentration were reduced. The pregnancy safely continued for 49 days (to 35 + 1/7 weeks), with stable blood pressure, allowing prolongation of gestation of the foetuses.
conclusionThis is the first case to report OSA with preeclampsia in a twin pregnancy. Our results suggest that automatic CPAP as an adjunct treatment to antihypertensive drugs may be beneficial in controlling blood pressure in early-onset preeclampsia associated with OSA.
