Efficacy of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate for Neuroprotection in Extreme Prematurity: A Comparative Observational Study.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Survival of preterm infants has improved drastically. In addition to significant contribution to neonatal mortality, impact of prematurity among survivors may continue through life impairing long-term physical life through neuro-disability and increased risk of cerebral palsy. Maternal administration of magnesium sulfate prior to impending preterm birth is an effective strategy to reduce neuromorbidity. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of antenatal magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection in preterm infants between 26 and 34 weeks in preventing early neonatal morbidity and mortality. Secondary objective was to assess any adverse events with the use of magnesium sulfate on the mother and neonate. Method: This was a prospective observational comparative study for 2 years at our tertiary care hospital of 100 pregnant women who gave preterm births. Fifty infants each were born to mothers who were either not given MgSO Results: Among all the preterm in our study, 81% delivered between 30 and 34 weeks. There was no significant difference in terms of maternal mortality or serious morbidity including postpartum hemorrhage, caesarian section rates or length of hospital stay among women receiving MgSO Conclusion: MgSO
