Postspinal Anesthesia Hypotension in Caesarean Delivery: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Anesthesiologists frequently deal with spinal hypotension when administering spinal anesthesia (SA) for a Caesarean section (C-section). The physiological changes that occur during pregnancy necessitate modifications to anesthesia and analgesia procedures to provide safe and efficient care for the expectant patient. It is believed that giving the patient SA during a C-section will increase their degree of comfort and pain management both during and after the surgical process. It is less expensive, easier to give, and delivers a consistent anesthetic onset, early ambulation, and the start of breastfeeding. As C-section is a very common operation performed in every healthcare unit, dealing with postspinal hypotension is a daily situation faced by anesthetists with variable levels of experience. However, understanding and addressing hypotension induced by SA is crucial as it affects the mother and the fetus negatively. This review aims to contribute to enhancing patient care and safety in the context of C-sections by identifying hypotension timely and managing it effectively. It is advised to healthcare workers to leverage the insights from the review to improve patient outcomes in routine practice.
