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

The management of obstetric emergencies in the intensive care unit (ICU) requires a multidisciplinary approach. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical profiles of obstetric patients admitted to the ICU of Analankininina University Hospital Centre (CHUAT). This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted over an 18-month period, from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. A total of 58 obstetric cases were recorded, representing a prevalence of 10.8%. The mean age was 25.29 ± 6.73 years. Hypertension was the most common medical history. Direct admissions accounted for 86.8% of the patients. Postoperative cases constituted the main reason for admission (48%), followed by complications of pregnancy-induced hypertension (26%). Four maternal deaths were reported, mainly due to disseminated intravascular coagulation, septic shock, and hypovolemic shock. The management of critically ill obstetric patients plays a key role in reducing maternal mortality. Establishing a dedicated obstetric and gynecologic ICU would improve access to care for near-miss cases and enhance outcomes.
