New Evidence to Support Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid in Low-Risk Women in Labor a Prospective Cohort Study.

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
purpose of studyTo assess the maternal and perinatal complications associated with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) in low-risk women in labor.
methodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted at CMC Hospital, Vellore, India. Two hundred low-risk women who had artificial or spontaneous rupture of membranes after admission with MSAF were included in the study. Two hundred similar women with clear liquor were taken as controls. The primary outcomes considered were the incidence of chorioamnionitis and endomyometritis in the mothers. The secondary outcomes included postpartum hemorrhage and retained placenta in the mothers and respiratory distress, meconium aspiration, sepsis, and NICU admission in the newborn. Statistical analysis was done using Fischer exact test. Odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, and
resultsCompared to controls, those with MSAF had significantly higher rates of chorioamnionitis (2 vs. 8%,
conclusionStatistically significant increased incidence of chorioamnionitis and endomyometritis in women with MSAF in labor established in our study strongly supports the use of prophylactic antibiotics in these women to prevent immediate and long-term consequences.
