Maternal critical care infrastructure and organisational preparedness in Türkiye: a national analysis of the MaCriCare cross-sectional survey.
Article in Annals of medicine, 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
objectivesMaCriCare (Maternal Critical Care) study, created as a European initiative, evaluated the availability of maternal critical care services. Since unique strengths and challenges of Turkish data within the MaCriCare study have not yet been evaluated separately, we aimed to assess maternal critical care preparedness and organisation in Turkish obstetric units participating in the MaCriCare cohort.
methodsThis secondary analysis included validated unit responses collected from September 2021 to January 2022. Survey domians including access to an intensive care unit (ICU), modified early-obstetric warning-score (MEOWS) use, availability of critical-care resources, care locations for pre-eclampsia, postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and sepsis, and maternal/staff support by focusing service accessibility and annual delivery rate were used. The comparator comprised 993 non-Türkiye units, and 140 Turkish units from 1,133-unit MaCriCare cohort.
resultsResponses from 140/403 eligible units (34.7%) represented 305,250 annual deliveries where 501-1,500 and 1,501-3,000 annual deliveries comprised 32.1% and 30.0%, respectively. Rate of same-hospital ICU access was 78.6% and 82.4% and use of any MEOWS system was 27.9% and versus 35.4% in Turkish vs non-Türkiye units, respectively. For pre-eclampsia, 58/140 units (41.4%) reported obstetric-unit care before delivery, followed by separate critical care particularly for PPH varied between 62.1% to 82.9%. Sepsis rate was 86.4%. Unavailable advanced resources included cardiac output monitoring (30.0%), cell salvage (47.1%), and viscoelastic testing (67.1%). Rate of breastfeeding support was 92.7% and maternal psychological screening was 24.5%.
conclusionsDescribing maternal critical-care infrastructure and reported organisational arrangements among participating Turkish units may support future service assessment and planning.
