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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to present our institutional experience with periprocedural management of emergency cesarean section (CS) operations and maternal and fetal cardiac complications in pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension (PH).
methodsThirteen patients who were diagnosed with PH during pregnancy and/or prior to pregnancy according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria, and who were referred to our hospital with a decision for emergency CS from an external center, were included in the study. For patients who underwent urgent surgery, the following data were recorded: demographic characteristics, time of diagnosis, treatments for pulmonary hypertension used before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and/or after CS, arterial blood gas values, pulmonary and systemic pressure values after induction and at the 12th postoperative hour, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requirements, time to extubation, length of intensive care stay, and mortality rates.
resultsEight of the 13 patients were diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The mean systolic systemic arterial pressure (BPs), systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPs), and mean pulmonary arterial pressure were 130+-14.2 mmHg, 93+-28 mmHg, and 52+-17 mmHg, respectively. Six of the 13 patients required ECMO support. The one-month mortality rate was 46%.
conclusionPregnancy in women with PH is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. If the underlying etiology is IPAH, the risk of mortality is higher than in other forms of PH. Mechanical circulatory support devices, including ECMO, may serve as a temporary bridge to lung transplantation in selected cases. Therefore, early diagnosis of IPAH, timely referral of patients to specialized centers, and planning of these operations by a multidisciplinary team consisting of cardiologists, gynecologists, and cardiac anesthesiologists are necessary.
