New techniques in evaluation of the cervix.
Review in Seminars in perinatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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 process of parturition is poorly understood, but the cervix clearly plays a key role. Because of this, recent research efforts have been directed at objective quantification of cervical remodeling. Investigation has focused on two basic areas: (1) quantification of tissue deformability and (2) presence, orientation, and/or concentration of microstructural components (e.g. collagen). Methods to quantify tissue deformability include strain elastography and shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI). Methods to describe tissue microstructure include attenuation and backscatter. A single parameter is unlikely to describe the complexities of cervical remodeling, but combining related parameters should improve accuracy of cervical evaluation. This chapter reviews options for cervical tissue characterization.
