Caesarean delivery on maternal request: consultants' view and practice in the west african sub region.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCaesarean Delivery on Maternal Request (CDMR) is increasingly seen as a viable option to vaginal delivery even in the absence of medical or obstetric contraindications to vaginal delivery. MATERIAL AND
methodsSelf administered questionnaires were instituted to Senior Consultant Obstetricians attending the examiners' meeting of the faculty of obstetrics and gynaecology of the West African College of Surgeon in Ibadan, Nigeria on 17(th) April, 2013 and 23(th) October, 2013. This was to assess their experience and attitudes toward CDMR. The data were analysed with SPSS version 16.0
resultsThe majority of the consultants, 94.4%(85/90) have had antenatal client(s) ask for CDMR and 81.2%(69/85) of them have operated on at least a patient for CDMR. The reasons for the CDMR were: precious pregnancy/infertility, previous traumatic delivery and to avoid the stress of labour in 33%, 20.7% and 16.2% respectively. Eighty percent(68/85) consultants have counseled the women but only 11.8%(10/85) of them have had their patients change their minds and opted for vaginal delivery. Eighty eight(97.8%) of the obstetricians sampled are aware of the FIGO stand on Caesarean section however, 80(88.9%) of them opined that it is important to accommodate the feelings of the women and offer CDMR for the respect of the patient's autonomy.
conclusionThere are cases of CDMR in the West African sub region and increasing willingness of the consultants to oblige to the request. There is need to develop a treatment guidelines/protocols for CDMR that will suit our environment in order to avoid over burdening of the limited health resources.
