Association between intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry and adverse perinatal and long-term outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFetal pulse oximetry may improve intrapartum fetal evaluation by providing a non-invasive measurement of fetal oxygen saturation (FSpo
objectivesTo assess the association between abnormal intrapartum FSpo SEARCH STRATEGY: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP from database inception through February 2024, with no restrictions on date, geographic region, country income level, or language. SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies involving women in labor with a cephalic baby were included. Two interventions were reviewed: (1) low FSpo DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality using the Risk of Bias tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The approach evaluated evidence certainty. A random-effects meta-analysis followed PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. MAIN
