Guidelines for the management of third and fourth degree perineal tears after vaginal birth from the Austrian Urogynecology Working Group.

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 purpose of this guideline is to provide a decision aid for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with major perineal tears and thus minimize the risk of persistent symptoms. In 2007, the "Guideline for the management of third and fourth degree perineal tears after vaginal birth" was established by members of the Austrian Urogynecologic Working Group (AUB). The guideline was updated in 2011, including literature published up to 30 November 2011. The DELPHI method was used to reach consensus. Evidence-based and consensus-based statements were defined for epidemiology, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, surgery, and follow-up of major perineal lacerations at vaginal birth.
