Burden and trend of maternal sepsis and other maternal infections in BRICS countries from 1990 to 2021.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMaternal septicemia and other maternal infections (MSMIs) continue to pose considerable challenges to public health on a global scale. However, comprehensive data on their impacts and trends are limited, particularly in BRICS countries, which include Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa. This study aims to compare the global epidemiological trends of MSMIs from 1990 to 2021 to MSMIs trends in BRICS countries and examine the relationship of disease burden with age and social development.
methodsUsing data from the Global Burden of Disease database, this study analyzed the prevalence, incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MSMIs from 1990 to 2021 globally and in BRICS countries. Temporal trends were assessed through estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and percentage change. Joinpoint regression analysis was employed to rigorously evaluate time trends, allowing for the calculation of annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC), with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsIn 2021, South Africa showed the highest prevalence of MSMIs (156.54 per 100,000), while the Russian Federation exhibited the highest incidence (1,001.51 per 100,000). Deaths and DALYs of MSMIs were lowered in BRICS countries compared to global averages. Between 1990 and 2019, India experienced the greatest decline in both incidence (EAPC = -2.68%) and prevalence (EAPC = -2.65%). Despite the global decline, regional variations in incidence were observed. In China, the incidence increased significantly between 2010 and 2014 (APC = 4.15%; 95% CI: 3.59-4.71%; P < 0.001). Similarly, in the Russian Federation, the incidence rose during three distinct periods: 2000-2004 (APC = 2.52%; 95% CI: 2.0-3.05%; P < 0.001), 2004-2010 (APC = 5.2%; 95% CI: 4.95-5.44%; P < 0.001), and 2010-2015 (APC = 1.79%; 95% CI: 1.46-2.12%; P < 0.001).
conclusionMSMIs remain prevalent globally, imposing a substantial disability burden, particularly in BRICS countries. While China exhibits relatively low disease burdens, South Africa faces high prevalence, and global deaths and DALYs from MSMIs remain elevated.
