The use of immersive technologies in learning about postpartum hemorrhage: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its proper management requires both technical and non-technical skills. This study describes the protocol for a systematic review evaluating the effectiveness of immersive technologies in training healthcare professionals in the management of this obstetric emergency. This protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD420250614446). The search will be performed in the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Enfispo and CUIDEN. Intervention studies (clinical trials - randomized or non-randomized) and quasi-experimental studies will be included. The risk of bias will be assessed using appropriate tools according to study design: the Risk of Bias 2 (ROB 2) tool for randomized controlled trials and the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool for non-randomized and quasi-experimental studies. Two independent researchers will conduct all assessments, and any disagreements will be consulted with a third reviewer. The data analysis and synthesis will be performed using Review Manager software version 5.4. We will conduct the study in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. The review will summarize the current evidence on the use of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality in education and training for postpartum hemorrhage management. The planned systematic review will identify and synthesize the available evidence on how immersive technologies may improve learning about postpartum hemorrhage.
