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 parturient with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) often suffer with pulmonary hypertension crisis (PHC) and had high mortality rate during the cesarean section is often used to terminate pregnancy. This study aimed at exploring the preoperative risk factors of PHC in pregnant women with PAH during the cesarean section.
methods91 pregnant women with PAH were recruited from June 2013 to January 2022 and divided into PHC group (n = 18) and non-PHC group (n = 73) according to whether PHC occurred during the perioperative period. The general and clinical data were collected and compared within two groups. The diagnostic values were analyzed by receiver operating curve (ROC). The entry method and forward logistic regression (LR) method were to demonstrate the preoperative risk factors that may influence the occurrence PHC in pregnant women with PAH during the perioperative period.
resultsThere were significant differences on the percentage of emergency surgery, the percentage of Eisenmenger syndrome, the placement of floating catheter, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, preoperative left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (sPAP), the percentage of oral sildenafil and preoperative SpO2 between PHC group and non-PHC group (p < 0.05). The optimal cut-off values of NYHA classification, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), preoperative LVEDD, preoperative sPAP were grade 3, 0.86, 45.58%, 132.87 mmhg separately via ROC curve analysis.
conclusionThe placement of a floating catheter, reduced LVEDD, and the orally unused administration of sildenafil could act as independent preoperative risk factors for PHC in pregnant women with PAH during cesarean section. Early high-risk groups can help prevent the occurrence of PHC in the perioperative management of PAH patients. These findings refine preoperative peri-cesarean risk stratification in PAH by emphasizing clinically actionable thresholds for NYHA class, SpO₂, LVEDD, and sPAP.
