Factors affecting use of magnesium sulphate for pre-eclampsia or eclampsia: a qualitative evidence synthesis.
Review in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHypertensive disorders account for 14% of global maternal deaths. Magnesium sulphate (MgSO
objectiveThis qualitative evidence synthesis explores perceptions and experiences of healthcare providers, administrators and policy-makers regarding factors affecting use of MgSO SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Emcare, CINAHL, Global Health and Global Index Medicus, and grey literature for studies published between January 1995 and June 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA: Primary qualitative and mixed-methods studies on factors affecting use of MgSO DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We applied a thematic synthesis approach to analysis, using COM-B behaviour change theory to map factors affecting appropriate use of MgSO MAIN
resultsWe included 22 studies, predominantly from LMICs. Key themes included provider competence and confidence administering MgSO
conclusionsThese findings can inform policy and guideline development and improve implementation of MgSO TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Global qualitative review identifies factors affecting underutilisation of MgSO
