Drug Utilization Pattern and Maternal Outcomes of Obstetric Medications in Antenatal and Postnatal Women at a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. 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
Background: Rational drug use in obstetrics is essential to ensure maternal safety and optimal pregnancy outcomes. Drug utilization studies help evaluate prescribing patterns and identify areas for improvement. Objective: To assess the drug utilization pattern and evaluate maternal outcomes associated with obstetric medications in antenatal and postnatal women at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted over six months in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 200 antenatal and postnatal women receiving medications were included. Data on demographics, drug prescriptions, and maternal outcomes were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0. Chi-square test, independent Results: The mean age was 26.8 ± 4.2 years. The average number of drugs prescribed per patient was 5.2 ± 1.3. Iron supplements (92%) and folic acid (89%) were the most commonly prescribed drugs. Favorable maternal outcomes were observed in 88% of cases. Multivariate analysis revealed antihypertensive use (AOR = 3.56, Conclusion: Although maternal outcomes were largely favorable, polypharmacy and high-risk drug use were significantly associated with complications. Rational prescribing practices should be emphasized.
