Acute respiratory distress and amniotic fluid embolism in pregnancy.
Review in Best practice & research. Clinical obstetrics & gynaecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Respiratory failure in pregnant and postpartum women is uncommon, but it is one of the leading causes of maternal admission into the intensive care unit and is associated with high mortality. The underlying causes include sequelae of underlying medical conditions, such as congenital heart diseases, but it is more often related to acute respiratory distress syndrome from obstetric complications like pre-eclampsia, effect of treatment like tocolysis, coincidental to pregnancy like transfusion-related acute lung injury, and accidental like amniotic fluid embolism. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in many of these conditions remain to be clearly established, but maternal inflammatory response and activation of the immune and complement systems appear to play leading roles. Prompt recognition of maternal respiratory distress and related manifestations and aggressive and adequate supportive treatment, especially cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilation, maintenance of circulation, and timely termination of the pregnancy, play key roles in achieving survival of both mother and foetus.
