Epidural volume extension technique in high risk obstetric patients - Case series.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Epidural volume extension involves injection of normal saline into the epidural space soon after an intrathecal injection, with the aim of augmenting the sensory block height. It has significant dose-sparing effect, providing adequate level of anaesthesia and analgesia with minimal haemodynamic disturbances. We present this case series that shows the successful use of this technique in high risk cardiac patients coming for elective lower segment caesarean section.
