Association of assisted reproductive technology with adverse maternal outcome: A cohort study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 & Objective: To assess the association of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) conception with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during the peripartum and postpartum periods. Methods: Clinical records of 11,497 patients enrolled in Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between March 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the ART group and the natural conception group based on the mode of conception. The incidence of PPH and blood loss at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after delivery were compared. Results: Clinical records of 2527 patients with ART-derived and 78,970 patients with spontaneous pregnancies, who delivered at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between March 2013 and December 2018, were included. The incidence of PPH (2.53%vs 1.58%, P < 0.001) was greater in the ART group than in the natural conception group. ART was associated with significantly higher rates of PPH both in women who delivered vaginally and by cesarean section ( Conclusion: The use of ART was associated with poorer maternal outcomes, including increased incidence of PPH and higher blood loss at 30 and 60 minutes after the delivery.
