1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To study the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on maternal mortality ratio, aetiological and modifiable factors for maternal mortality and key interventions performed. Method: Retrospective exploratory study evaluating maternal mortality between April to November 2020 (study group) and 2019 (control group). Results: Demographic variations existed in the two groups. Increased maternal age and illiteracy were significantly more in the study group. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was significantly high in the study group (792 vs. 296 Conclusion: Maternal mortality ratio was high in the pandemic year because of a significant decline in hospital delivery rate. The lesson learnt from this pandemic needs to be documented to guide better planning in the future to face similar situations.
