Evaluation of the etiology and risk factors for maternal sepsis: A single center study in Guangzhou, China.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMaternal sepsis is a major cause of gestational morbidity and neonatal mortality worldwide and particularly in China.
aimTo evaluate the etiology of maternal sepsis and further identify its risk factors.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we evaluated 70698 obstetric patients who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2018. Subjects were divided into sepsis group and non-sepsis group based on the incidence of sepsis. Data about medical history (surgical and obstetric history) and demographic information were collected. The Mann-Whitney
resultsA total of 561 of 70698 obstetric patients were diagnosed with infection; of the infected patients, 492 had non-sepsis associated infection (87.7%), while 69 had sepsis (12.3%). The morbidity rate of maternal sepsis was 9.76/10000; the fatality rate in the sepsis group was 11.6% (8/69). Emergency admission (OR = 2.183) or transfer (OR = 2.870), irregular prenatal care (OR = 2.953), labor induction (OR = 4.665), cervical cerclage (OR = 14.214), first trimester (OR = 6.806) and second trimester (OR = 2.09) were significant risk factors for maternal sepsis.
conclusionMode of admission, poor prenatal care, labor induction, cervical cerclage, first trimester and second trimester pregnancy were risk factors for maternal sepsis.
