Emergent Cesarean Section Due to Malaria: A Perioperative Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 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
In a nonendemic setting, the confluence of malaria and pregnancy presents unique anesthetic challenges, particularly when the infection is undiagnosed at the time of an urgent cesarean section. This report involves a woman in her early 30s at 39 weeks of gestation with no prior health issues, who developed malarial symptoms upon returning from Haiti five months before. During labor, severe fetal heart rate decelerations necessitated immediate surgical intervention. Given the patient's febrile state, rapid induction with etomidate and succinylcholine was selected to minimize hemodynamic instability and secure the airway swiftly. Intraoperatively, close monitoring guided the systemic effects of malaria, such as hypotension and coagulation anomalies. Following delivery, empirical antimalarial treatment was initiated before the confirmatory diagnosis, considering the etiology endemic to the patient's travel history. This case emphasizes the role of flexible, anticipatory anesthetic strategies in urgent obstetric procedures, specifically those involving complex infectious conditions.
