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

Obstetric hemorrhage is the main cause of maternal death worldwide; over the years, its management has been based on uterotonic drugs as well as definitive and non-definitive surgical techniques. We report the case of a patient with multiple risk factors for obstetric hemorrhage who was given the classic management for postpartum hemorrhage before the addition of chitosan gauze, which resulted in adequate remission of the condition. The patient had an adequate in-hospital evolution; the chitosan gauze was removed after 24 hours, and she was discharged after 48 hours without active bleeding. When identifying women at high risk of obstetric hemorrhage, having chitosan gauze in the operating room could be a point of good care.
