Successful Conservative Management After Expulsion Following Fetal Demise in a Triplet Pregnancy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Triplet pregnancies are associated with high rates of complications, including miscarriage, preterm birth, and selective fetal loss. We present a case of a 42-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of infertility, multiple failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts, and one prior pregnancy loss at 26 weeks of gestation due to placenta previa. She conceived trichorionic triamniotic (TCTA) triplets following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with donor oocytes. At 18 weeks and five days, she developed preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) with umbilical cord prolapse of one fetus, which already had no detectable fetal heart activity. Intrauterine cord ligation (IUCL) was performed, and the demised fetus was retained until expulsion the following day. Conservative management with progesterone support, antibiotics, anticoagulation, tocolysis with atosiban (OXTR/V1A oxytocin and vasopressin V1A receptor antagonist), and antihypertensive therapy allowed prolongation of the pregnancy. Despite challenges including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), hypertension, hypothyroidism, and anemia, the remaining two fetuses continued to develop with reassuring Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) findings. At 33 weeks and two days, she underwent urgent cesarean delivery of two viable preterm infants for non-reassuring fetal heart rates (FHRs). This case highlights that with individualized management and intensive monitoring, continuation of pregnancy after selective fetal loss in a triplet gestation is possible, improving neonatal outcomes.
