Post-partum maternal bradycardia: A case series and literature review.
Article in Obstetric medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Unlike tachyarrhythmias, which are common in pregnancy, there is a paucity of data regarding maternal bradycardias. Our objective was to describe the characteristics, associated conditions, and prognosis of women who develop bradycardia post-partum. Method: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients referred to the Obstetrical Medicine service at British Columbia Women's Hospital from January 2012 to May 2020 for post-partum maternal bradycardia. Results: Twenty-four patients with post-partum bradycardia were included (age 34.2 ± 4.8 years; heart rate 40.4 ± 8.1 beats per minute; blood pressure 131/72 mm Hg). Sinus bradycardia (79.2%) was the most common rhythm. Dyspnea (29.4%) and chest pain (23.5%) were common symptoms. Mean time to resolution of bradycardia was 3.6 ± 3.8 days. Associated conditions potentially explaining the bradycardia were preeclampsia (54.1%), underlying (16.7%), medications (8.3%), and neuraxial anesthesia (8.3%). Conclusions: Maternal bradycardia is an uncommon condition complicating the post-partum period, that is generally self-limiting, with the majority only require clinical observation.
