Cesarean section rates in Italy by hospital payment mode: an analysis based on birth certificates.
Article in American journal of public health, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The study, based on birth certificate data from 1985 through 1987, investigated cesarean section (CS) rates in the Lazio region of Italy and their relationship with mode of hospital care payment. Use of abdominal delivery increased from 22.3% in 1985 to 24.3% in 1987. CS rates were highest (34.7%) in private hospitals. A marked variation in the use of CS was associated with mode of hospital care payment independently from other predictors of abdominal delivery.
