Effects of different anesthesia methods on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2022. 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
purposeTo investigate the effects of different anesthesia methods on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
methodsWe searched PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and QVIP for investigating the effects of general anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) in pregnant patients with PAH. Results were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) or risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Publication bias was assessed by the Begg's test.
resultsTotally, 18 articles containing 628 LA and 481 GA patients were involved in our study. The postoperative blood oxygen saturation (WMD = - 4.040, 95%CI: - 5.505 to - 2.576) and maternal mortality rate (RR = 0.507, 95%CI: 0.300-0.858) were lower in LA group than those in GA group. The postoperative systolic blood pressure (WMD = 15.647, 95%CI: 13.294-18.000) and postoperative diastolic blood pressure (WMD = 6.758, 95%CI: 5.715-7.802) were high in LA group compared with those in GA group. The mechanical ventilation time (WMD = - 4.112, 95%CI: - 4.655 to - 3.569), ICU admission time (WMD = - 4.176, 95%CI: - 4.523 to - 3.828), length of stay (WMD = -7.289, 95%CI: -7.799-6.779) were shorter in LA group than those in GA group. All P values were < 0.05.
conclusionsLA is superior to GA in regards to the postoperative blood oxygen saturation, the postoperative systolic blood pressure, postoperative diastolic blood pressure, the mechanical ventilation time, ICU admission time, length of stay and the maternal mortality rate.
