Thromboelastography-Guided Anesthetic Management for Cesarean Section in a Patient With Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Case Report.
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 pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) receiving subcutaneous unfractionated heparin, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) cannot reliably evaluate anticoagulant effects due to interference from antiphospholipid antibodies. Thromboelastography (TEG) can assess both heparin effects and overall coagulation status. A pregnant woman with APS on aspirin and subcutaneous unfractionated heparin developed genital bleeding, necessitating an emergency cesarean section. The interval since the last heparin dose was borderline for safe neuraxial anesthesia. TEG was performed to evaluate coagulation status and revealed impaired coagulation, likely due to residual heparin effect and reduced coagulation factors from bleeding. General anesthesia was selected. Surgery proceeded uneventfully under general anesthesia with intraoperative transfusion of fresh frozen plasma. Hemostasis was maintained perioperatively. TEG provided critical information for anesthesia decision-making and intraoperative management in a pregnant patient with APS receiving heparin, helping guide safe and effective clinical care.
