Caesarean Birth in Romania: Safe Motherhood Between Ethical, Medical and Statistical Arguments.
Article in Maedica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The number of caesarean sections increased significantly in Romania. In 2012, caesarean sections accounted for 41.2% of total births, according to a study of the Romanian National School for Public Health. This estimation is in agreement with the statistical data on caesarean sections recorded in one of the most important hospitals in Bucharest, Romania, Filantropia Hospital. Many factors have influenced the large number and sharply increasing trend of caesarean sections, from the historical ones, with roots in the communist regime, when abortions were outlawed, to current day doctors' medical practices and mothers' beliefs and fears related to the process of labor and the newborn's health. This paper aims to examine the pros and cons for caesarean birth. The analysis is presented from three perspectives: expressed by the doctor/medical caregiver, the patient/mother and some of the third parties indirectly involved in the medical decision: the foetus/newborn, the hospital/medical unit and the society as a whole, knowing that ethics is beyond the legal, economic or administrative frames.
