Comparison of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Sepsis in Obstetrics Score (SOS) in Women with Pregnancy-Associated Sepsis with Respect to Critical Care Admission and Mortality: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2021. 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
objectiveWe aimed to determine performance of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and Sepsis in Obstetrics Score (SOS), in women with pregnancy-associated sepsis (PAS) with respect to critical care admission and mortality.
methodsObstetric patients with PAS fulfilling any 2 of the quick SOFA (qSOFA) criteria were enrolled as cases. The various parameters of SOFA and SOS were recorded at admission and compared for outcomes.
resultsCritical care was required in 32 (50.7%) patients and associated mortality was high (31.7%). For our study population, a threshold of SOFA ≥ 6 had the best combination of sensitivity (84.4%) and specificity (61.3%) for critical care admission. For SOS, a cut-off value of ≥ 6 gave best sensitivity (64%) and specificity (40%) for the same.
conclusionsSOFA was far more predictive of patient's critical condition as well as mortality compared to SOS. SOFA was superior to SOS in determining critical care admission and mortality for PAS.
