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 & objectives Obstetric patients often need admission to intensive care units (ICUs). The data on these patients are scarce and heterogeneous. We studied the profile of obstetric patients admitted to our ICU. Methods The records of obstetric patients admitted to the ICU at the Government Lalla Ded Hospital, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, dedicated to obstetrics and gynaecology patients, were analysed retrospectively from March 2022 to February 2023.This included demography, co-morbidities, pre-admission surgeries/procedures, clinical characteristics, and outcomes (death/discharge/transfer). Results Out of 525 obstetric ICU patients, the majority were admitted for obstetric causes (94.66%) and after surgery (84.38%), mostly (66.59%) after caesarean section (CS). Hypertension (35.23%) and anaemia (32.76%) were the most common co-morbidities. The majority were admitted for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP; 34.47%) or post-partum haemorrhage (PPH; 24.71%) or complications. Only two per cent of CS and one per cent of vaginal delivery (VD) patients needed ICU admission. The maternal ICU mortality rate was 6.53 per cent (0.15% of total deliveries). Only 6.66 per cent needed transfer to non-obstetric or multi-specialty care. Admission with heart disease [Hazard ratio; HR=8.26, 95% Confidence interval (CI)=0.01-67.17,P<0.05], after intra-uterine foetal death (IUFD; HR=5.17, 95% CI=1-26.75, P<0.05), or after laparotomy for ectopic pregnancy (EP; HR=50.2, CI=1.43-1766.87, P<0.05) and need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV; HR=35.5, CI=3.14-401.75, P<0.05) or inotropic support (IS; HR=12.06, CI=1.96-74.19, P<0.05) increased while admission after VD (HR=0.10, CI=0.01-0.73, P<0.05) decreased mortality risk. Interpretation & conclusions HDP and PPH were the most common maternal presentations in obstetric ICUs. Maternal mortality was low. Patients with heart diseases, IMV/IS requirement, and those admitted after IUFD or laparotomy for EP had increased, while patients admitted after VD had decreased mortality risk in the ICU.
