Cephalic version by postural management for breech presentation.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIt is possible that maternal posture may influence fetal position. Many postural techniques have been used to promote cephalic version.
objectivesThe objective of this review was to assess the effects of postural management of breech presentation on measures of pregnancy outcome. SEARCH STRATEGY: The Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth trials register and Controlled Trials Register were searched. Date of last search: February 1999. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and quasi-randomised trials comparing postural management with pelvic elevation for breech presentation, with a control group. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Eligibility and trial quality were assessed by both reviewers. MAIN
resultsThree studies involving a total of 192 women were included. Postural management was associated with a non-significant trend towards fewer non-cephalic births (relative risk 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0. 73 to 1.12). No differences were detected for caesarean sections or Apgar scores below seven at one minute. REVIEWER'S
conclusionsThere is not enough evidence to evaluate the use of postural management for breech presentation.
