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 present some features and incidence of cases of brachial plexus injury in deliveries at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Training and Research Hospital, from January 2010 through December 2014. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn total, 38.896 deliveries in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's Training and Research Hospital, from January 2010 through December 2014 were screened from a prospectively collected database. We recorded gravidity, parity, body mass index, maternal diabetes, labor induction, gestational age at delivery, operative deliveries, malpresentations, prolonged second stage of deliveries, shoulder dystocies, clavicle and humerus fructures, estimated fetal weight, biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length, fetal sex, route of delivery, maternal age, and fetal anomalies.

resultsThere were 28 (72/100.000) cases of brachial plexus injury among 38.896 deliveries. In the 6-year study period, there were 18.363 deliveries via c-section, whereas 20.533 were vaginal deliveries.

conclusionSonographic fetal weight estimation and clinical examination performed by experienced obstetricians, and active appropriate management of shoulder dystocias seemed to attenuate the incidence of brachial plexus injury in the at risk population in our tertiary referral center.
