Recent trends in cesarean section rates in Ontario.
Article in CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 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
After increasing steadily for 15 years the cesarean section rate in Ontario stabilized at 20.2 per 100 deliveries in the fiscal years 1986-87 and 1987-88. An important factor in the stabilization was a decrease in the rate of repeat section. The diagnosis and management of dystocia and fetal distress continue to put upward pressure on the cesarean section rate, which is higher than would be expected if recent practice guidelines had been fully implemented. There is a need for further research into the appropriate management of labour and delivery and into more targeted techniques for bringing practice into line with appropriate standards of care.
