Efficacy and Safety of Nifedipine as a Tocolytic Agent in Preterm Labor.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. 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
Objectives: To study the success or failure of pregnancy with nifedipine and the side effects of nifedipine. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 138 pregnant women between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation, diagnosed with preterm labor. Nifedipine 30 mg was administered orally. The dose was repeated as a maintenance therapy every 6 h for the next two days up to a maximum total dose of 160 mg. Results: Tocolysis was successful in 117 (84.78%) cases. The mode of delivery was vaginal delivery in 131 (94.93%) cases. Side effects of nifedipine were tachycardia in 20 (14.49%) cases, hypotension in 26 (18.84%), and headache in 10 (7.25%). Conclusion: Nifedipine effectively prolonged preterm labor in 84.78% of cases, with 94.93% delivering vaginally with minimal manageable side effects. Overall, nifedipine was a safe and effective tocolytic agent.
