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
Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intermittent bolus administration of ephedrine, norepinephrine, and phenylephrine in the treatment of maternal hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections in preeclamptic women. Methods: This PRISMA-based systematic review included English random control trails (RCTs) of women with singleton preeclampsia (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) criteria) undergoing cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia, excluding chronic hypertension or systemic disease. Interventions were intermittent bolus phenylephrine, norepinephrine, or ephedrine, with outcomes on maternal hemodynamics, neonatal status, and adverse events. Searches of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Cochrane (to December 2024) plus reference screening identified eligible studies. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias (Cochrane RoB 2.0). Due to heterogeneity in vasopressor regimens and outcome measures, results were synthesized narratively. Results: Of 2333 records screened, six RCTs (sample sizes 20-166) were included, all in preeclamptic women undergoing cesarean delivery. Overall risk of bias was low. Norepinephrine better preserved maternal hemodynamics than phenylephrine or ephedrine, with higher cardiac output (6.31 ± 1.08 Conclusion: Intermittent bolus administration of norepinephrine offers superior maternal cardiac output and neonatal safety, making it optimal for preeclamptic cesarean deliveries. Phenylephrine is effective for blood pressure control but may induce bradycardia, while the use of ephedrine is limited by its association with neonatal acidosis. Tailored vasopressor selection is thus essential for optimal outcomes. Registration: PROSPERO; CRD42024565007.
