Global burden, disparities, and determinants of postpartum haemorrhage among women who gave birth: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Review in Frontiers in reproductive health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a preventable yet leading cause of maternal death, demanding urgent attention and action. Every year, tens of thousands of women die from postpartum haemorrhage a tragedy that is both preventable and unacceptable. Each maternal death represents a systemic failure. This umbrella review consolidates global evidence on burden, disparities, and determinants of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) to inform policymaker's evidence decision making. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted between July 30 and August 15, 2025, across PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane, and related review databases to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the prevalence, disparities, and determinants of postpartum haemorrhage among women who gave birth. Study quality was assessed using the AMSTAR tool. Heterogeneity was examined with Cochran's Q and Result: This umbrella review included 17 systematic reviews with sample size of over 21 million women to estimate the global pooled prevalence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) at 9.97% (95% CI: 6.90%-13.04%), with ( Conclusion and recommendation: The study underscores postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) as a critical global health issue, with approximately 1 in 10 women experiencing PPH worldwide and 1 in 20 affected by severe PPH, highlighting the urgent need to address persistent disparities. An immediate policy action is essential to guarantee timely, effective care and to uphold maternal health as a fundamental human right. As the global call reminds us: "No woman should die giving life." Systematic Review Registration: [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251121022], identifier CRD420251121022.
