Neonatal mortality and morbidity in vertex-vertex second twins according to mode of delivery and birth weight.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess the risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity in vertex-vertex second twins according to mode of delivery and birth weight. STUDY
designData from a historical cohort study based on a twin registry in the US (1995-1997) were used. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for maternal age, race, marital status, cigarette smoking during pregnancy, parity, medical complications, gestational age, and other confounders.
resultsA total of 86 041 vertex-vertex second twins were classified into two groups: second twins delivered by cesarean section after cesarean delivery of first twin (C-C) (43.0%), second twins whose co-twins delivered vaginally (V-X) (57.0%). In infants of birth weight>or=2500 g group, the risks of noncongenital anomaly-related death (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 4.64, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.90, 13.92), low Apgar score (aOR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.43, 4.14), and ventilation use (aOR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.47) were higher in the V-X group compared with the C-C group. No asphyxia-related neonatal deaths occurred in C-C group, whereas the incidence of this death was 0.04% in the V-X group.
conclusionThe risks of neonatal mortality and morbidity are increased in vertex-vertex second twins with birth weight>or=2500 g whose co-twins delivered vaginally compared with second twins delivered by cesarean section after cesarean delivery of first twin.
