How other countries can improve Canada's maternal mortality statistics.
Review in Obstetric medicine, 2023. 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
Maternal mortality is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of the end of pregnancy. Late maternal deaths are from 42 to 365 days thereafter. Maternal mortality is an important surrogate indicator of a woman's overall health, social and economic status, and the provision of antenatal and emergency obstetric care at regional and national levels. Canada does not have a national system to report on maternal mortality; rather, maternal death investigations fall under the legal purview of coroners and medical examiners within each individual province or territory. Furthermore, the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System is limited by its access to a comprehensive dataset. Hence, there is no accurate national picture of mortality prevalence or trends. The implementation of a national confidential enquiry system is a crucial step toward detailing pregnancy and post-pregnancy maternal mortality in Canada and should be organized in accordance with existing successful international systems.
