1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate outcome of trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) with fetal weight >3500 g. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective descriptive study was carried out between March 1, 2012, and February 28, 2015. Medical and obstetrical records of women with birth weight (BW) >3500 g admitted in the labor ward with advanced labor or admitted in early labor but with underestimated fetal weight >3500 g were analyzed. Main variables analyzed included maternal parity, vaginal delivery prior to TOLAC, the BW and the integrity of the uterine scar.

resultsMean BW was 3789.3 g. Out of 36 women, 75 % had a successful TOLAC. Women who delivered vaginally before TOLAC had a higher success rate than women who never delivered vaginally (94.1 vs. 63.1 %, P < 0.044).

conclusionSuccessful TOLAC with birth weight >3500 g can be observed among women, especially among those admitted in advanced labor or with successful vaginal delivery prior to the current TOLAC.
