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: Studies addressing full-term preeclampsia (PE) remain an area awaiting further exploration, and data concerning hemodynamic changes in women with PE during the initial 2 h postpartum remain elusive. This study aimed to observe the changes in extravascular lung water (EVLW), intravascular volume, and cardiac function in full-term PE before and after delivery and to investigate the differences in these parameters between PE patients and healthy women. Methods: This was a prospective, observational study. A total of 16 women were included in the PE group, and 32 were included in the control group. Bedside ultrasound examinations were performed 24 h before delivery, 2 h after delivery, and 24 h after delivery. A semiquantitative assessment of EVLW was conducted via the 28-rib interspace technique to calculate the echo comet score (ECS). The inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVC-CI), left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial volume index, left ventricular E/A ratio, e-peak deceleration time, left ventricular index of myocardial performance (LIMP), right ventricular fractional area change, right atrial volume index, right ventricular E/A ratio, and right ventricular index of myocardial performance (RIMP) were calculated. Results: ECS increased from 24 h before delivery to 2 h after delivery in both groups. From 2 to 24 h postpartum, only the control group presented a decrease in ECS. The ECS in the PE group remained consistently greater than that in the control group (all Conclusions: In this exploratory, hypothesis-generating study, EVLW and intravascular volume increased postpartum, with a greater increase observed in PE women, who also have a higher risk of pulmonary edema and a greater intravascular volume load. Intrapartum bedside ultrasound can be used for real-time monitoring of maternal EVLW, intravascular volume status, and cardiac function, aiding in the monitoring the condition and fluid management of PE patients.
