1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

October 5, 2025, saw the launch of first-ever consolidated postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management guidelines issued by three global health agencies-World Health Organization (WHO), Federation International of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO), and International Confederation of Midwives (ICM)-at the FIGO congress in Cape Town, South Africa. This landmark XXV FIGO 2025 congress also hosted inauguration of two vital pledge walls-"End PPH" and "Safe abortion saves women. Denial takes them." These pledge walls represent a commitment to initiatives of end two leading causes of maternal mortality at global level, which are PPH and unsafe abortion. We call on WHO and FIGO-in collaboration with Society of Family Planning (SFP) and other guideline-setting bodies-to convene a similar harmonization and process and issue a consolidated, consistent abortion care guidelines to reduce contradictory recommendations and improve uptake of evidence-based recommendations.
