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

Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, remains the third leading cause of maternal mortality globally. Pregnancy-associated physiological adaptations predispose pregnant individuals to infection, impair maternal response to infection, affect antibiotic pharmacokinetics and metabolism, and complicate diagnosing infections and sepsis. Therefore, it is tantamount that clinicians readily recognize maternal sepsis and understand antibiotic regimens and treatment principles to avoid adverse maternal outcomes. In this article, we present an overview of the diagnosis and management of maternal sepsis and the physiological changes in pregnancy that alter antibiotic pharmacokinetics. Common microorganisms implicated in maternal sepsis are discussed with an emphasis on
