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

Obstetric hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death in childbirth; it is estimated that one woman dies every four minutes from postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH is the cause of approximately one-quarter of maternal deaths worldwide and is thus a major public health issue of great importance. Despite modern advances in medicine, hemorrhage continues to lead the causes of pregnancy-related death in most countries, with increasing disparity between countries with highly developed and underdeveloped national healthcare systems. Most deaths caused by PPH are preventable. All involved in the care of pregnant women must be aware of the gravity of this problem, ways of identifying women at risk for severe hemorrhage at childbirth, strategies for preventing and ameliorating blood loss at delivery, and finally ways to deal with obstetric hemorrhage when it does occur. This article reviews the impact of obstetric hemorrhage, the controversy regarding definitions, diagnosis, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of obstetric hemorrhage.
