Prophylactic antibiotics for manual removal of retained placenta in vaginal birth.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 3 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
backgroundRetained placenta is a potentially life-threatening condition because of its association with postpartum haemorrhage. Manual removal of placenta increases the likelihood of bacterial contamination in the uterine cavity.
objectivesTo compare the effectiveness and side-effects of routine antibiotic use for manual removal of placenta in vaginal birth in women who received antibiotic prophylaxis and those who did not and to identify the appropriate regimen of antibiotic prophylaxis for this procedure. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group Trials Register (30 November 2005), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library, Issue 4, 2005), MEDLINE (from 1966 to January 2005), EMBASE (from 1980 to January 2005), CINAHL (from 1982 to January 2005) and LILACS (from 1982 to January 2005). SELECTION CRITERIA: All randomized controlled trials comparing antibiotic prophylaxis and placebo or non antibiotic use to prevent endometritis after manual removal of placenta in vaginal birth. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: If eligible trials were to be identified, trial quality would be assessed and data would be extracted, unblinded by two review authors independently. MAIN
resultsNo studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified. AUTHORS'
conclusionsThere are no randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent endometritis after manual removal of placenta in vaginal birth.
