Assessment of obstetric analgesia in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic-international study 2022.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, analgesia and critical care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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

Abstract
backgroundAn international observational study was conducted to describe the preferred techniques for obstetric analgesia and anesthesia in the Czech Republic (CZE) and Slovakia (SVK), as well as during the period after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, the authors present only results about analgesia during vaginal delivery.
objectiveTo determine whether modes of obstetric analgesia are adequate and in line with the needs of women in labor and current trends. STUDY
designAn international multicentric observational study.
settingA total of 149 centers were invited to participate; 64 from CZE and 22 from SVK supplied the electronic case report form for obstetric analgesia (prepared by the steering committee); the study period was November 2022. STUDY POPULATION: Patients who underwent vaginal delivery.
interventionLabor analgesia during vaginal delivery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURERS: Modes of labor analgesia and complication rates.
resultsIn CZE, of the total number of births, 5914 were born, 1552 (26.2%) of which were cesarean deliveries. In Slovakia, the total number of births was 2030, of which 684 (33.7%) were cesarean deliveries. Obstetric analgesia was administered by an anesthesiologist to 1331 (23.3%) parturients, 900 (20.6%) in the CZE group and 431 (32%) in the SVK group. In most cases, 1280 (96.5%) epidural analgesia was used; 874 (97.4%) parturients were in the CZE, and 406 (94.2%) parturients were in the SVK. Complications from epidural analgesia occurred in 74 (5.8%) parturients.
conclusionThis study describes the limited use of epidural analgesia in CZE (20.0%) and SVK (30.2%), which are associated with a low incidence of complications. Regularly performed audits or national registers would provide relevant data for describing daily practices.
