Minimum effective dose of carbetocin for preventing uterine atony during Cesarean delivery in patients with and without preeclampsia: a biased sequential allocation study.
Article in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 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
purposeThe aggregate data for successful use of carbetocin in patients at high risk of postpartum hemorrhage is fairly large. Nevertheless, there are scant data evaluating carbetocin in patients with preeclampsia and no established optimal dose. Therefore, we aimed to determine the minimum effective dose (the dose effective in 90% of the studied population [ED
methodsWe based this nonrandomized triple-blinded dose finding study on biased coin sequential allocation design. We enrolled all consenting nonlabouring parturients aged > 18 yr with singleton pregnancy posted for Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia (with and without preeclampsia). Doses of carbetocin included 10 μg, 20 μg, 40 μg, 60 μg, 80 μg, 100 μg, or 120 μg, with 20 μg for the first patient of either group and then successively decided by response to the bolus in the previous patient in the respective group. After a "failed" dose of carbetocin bolus, the subsequent patient in that group received the next highest dose. In the case of a "successful" dose, we decreased it to the lower dose with a probability of 1/9; otherwise, it remained unchanged. The determinant of a successful dose was satisfactory uterine tone at 2 min after carbetocin, along with no need for any additional uterotonic intraoperatively.
resultsThe ED
conclusionThe dose requirement of carbetocin to prevent intraoperative uterine atony in patients with preeclampsia is 1.5 times greater than in those without the disease.
