[Epidural analgesia in 20 parturients at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital Center in Lomé (Togo)].

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
We conducted a prospective and descriptive study on epidural analgesia (EA) at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital Center in Lomé from February to June 2014. After taking consent from pregnant women selected by simple random sampling and in the absence of contraindication for anesthesia (pre-anesthetic assessment performed in their 8th month of pregnancy), women were enrolled. Out of 29 selected women, 20 (69%) underwent EA. The average age was 30.6 ± 6.6 years: primiparas 35%, multiparas 50%, Obese women (BMI> 30)25%. Average number of punctures: 1.2 ± 0.5; blood reflux into the catheter: 5%; dural puncture: 0. Delay for anesthesia induction: 8.5 ± 2, 2mn. Mean dosage of 0.125% isobaric bupivacaine: 28.8 ± 8ml; digital scale at T10min <3 for all parturient women. Motor block: 0. Hypotension: 1 case (5%). Mode of delivery: vaginal births 19 (95%), cesarean section 1 (5%). Respiratory distress in the newborn: 0. Level of satisfaction: 9,8 ± 0.5 / 10. Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital Center in Lomé provides obstetric EA. While awaiting its availability to all parturient women based on human and material resources, the use of epidural analgesia in the presence of medical indications would be a first step.
