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

introductionThe progressive adaptation of the maternal cardiovascular system throughout pregnancy is essential to maintaining adequate uteroplacental circulation and meeting maternal physiological demands. In recent years, maternal haemodynamic parameters have gained attention as useful indicators for screening and managing pregnancy, particularly for identifying women at high risk for complications and predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the trajectory of haemodynamic parameters during labour, establish reference ranges for different stages of labour and explore the association between haemodynamics and adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is an ambispective observational cohort study conducted in a tertiary hospital in Chongqing, China. A total of 2800 pregnant women will be enrolled. After hospital admission and providing written informed consent, participants will complete a demographic questionnaire. Data collection will include maternal baseline characteristics, haemodynamic parameters at multiple stages of labour and maternal and newborn outcomes. These data will allow comprehensive analysis of haemodynamic changes during labour in women undergoing vaginal delivery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (ethics approval number: 2024-406-01). Participation is voluntary and initiated only after obtaining written informed consent. The findings will be disseminated through presentations at national and international conferences and through publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2500097643.
