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

Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare syndrome characterized by sudden cardiorespiratory collapse during labor or soon after delivery. Because of its rarity, many obstetrical providers have no experience in managing amniotic fluid embolism and may therefore benefit from a cognitive aid such as a checklist. In 2021, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine published a sample checklist for the initial management of amniotic fluid embolism based on standard management guidelines. In this article, we present an updated checklist with revisions to align the terminology with advanced cardiac life support guidelines. We also suggest steps that each facility can take to implement the checklist effectively. This Special Statement replaces Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Special Statement: Checklist for initial management of amniotic fluid embolism, 2021.
