Uterine exteriorization versus intraperitoneal repair at caesarean section.
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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAfter caesarean delivery of the fetus and placenta, the uterus may be placed outside the mother to facilitate repair of the uterine incision.
objectivesThe objective of this review was to assess the effects of exteriorisation of the uterus, compared to the effects of uterine closure within the abdominal cavity. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and quasi-randomised trials of uterine exteriorisation for repair compared to intra-abdominal repair for pregnant women undergoing elective or emergency caesarean section. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers assessed trial quality and extracted the data. MAIN
resultsTwo trials involving 486 women were included. Neither trial was methodologically strong. Exteriorisation made no significant difference to blood loss. Exteriorisation was associated with fewer post-operative febrile days (fever more than three days, odds ratio 0.40, 95% confidence interval 0.17 to 0.94) and a non-significant trend towards fewer infections. There was also a non-significant trend towards more nausea and vomiting when exteriorisation was done under regional analgesia. REVIEWER'S
conclusionsThere is not enough information to evaluate the routine use of exteriorisation of the uterus for repair of the uterine incision.
