Nifedipine-associated maternal oxygen desaturation in an IVF twin pregnancy complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes: a case report.
Article in AJOG global reports, 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
objectiveTo report a case of nifedipine-associated maternal oxygen desaturation in an IVF-conceived twin pregnancy complicated by PPROM with complete clinical documentation, and to provide denominator context from a retrospective review of institutional experience prompted by this case. STUDY
designCase report at a single tertiary center. Following the Index Case, we conducted a retrospective review of all 103 patients who received nifedipine tocolysis at our institution over the preceding 2 years (January 2024-January 2026). Among these, 10 (9.7%) had IVF-conceived multiple gestations complicated by PPROM-the clinical profile shared with the Index Case; 3 of these 10 (30%) had developed oxygen desaturation. Only the Index Case had complete clinical workup and is reported in detail.
resultsAmong 103 nifedipine tocolysis patients, 10 (9.7%) had IVF-conceived multiple gestations complicated by PPROM; 3 of these 10 (30%) developed oxygen desaturation. Two additional cases lacked complete workup and could not be attributed to nifedipine. The Index Case: a 36-year-old with IVF-conceived DCDA twins at 23+3 weeks developed SpO₂ 88% to 90% within hours of nifedipine. Echocardiography: preserved LVEF; BNP 626 pg/mL; troponin
conclusionThis case, strengthened by two positive rechallenges occurring without concurrent magnesium sulfate, provides compelling temporal evidence for nifedipine-associated respiratory compromise in an IVF twin pregnancy with PPROM. The pattern of desaturation without radiographic alveolar pulmonary edema, elevated BNP, and resolution without diuresis suggests subclinical hemodynamic perturbation as the underlying mechanism. Clinicians should maintain heightened vigilance for unexplained oxygen desaturation during nifedipine tocolysis in this patient population.
