Labor Pattern Among Primigravida in Local Population.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesIn this study, we tried to make the customized labor curve by studying the labor pattern among the primigravidas and we compared the cervicograph with Zhang's and Suzuki's curves. This study may be a motivator for future research to create own labor norms for our Indian population which may help in reducing the cesarean section rates, principally in primigravidas. MATERIALS AND
methodsIt was a prospective observational study, which included 156 primigravidas with uncomplicated term singleton pregnancy with spontaneous onset and progression of labor, who had normal vaginal delivery with good maternal and neonatal outcome.
resultsThe shape of the labor curve of this study was similar to Zhang' and Suzuki-Horiuchi's curves which had slower progression. The active phase started from 5 to 6 cm of cervical dilatation onwards which was similar to Suzuki-Horiuchi's curve. In the present study, the mean rate of cervical dilatation in the active phase was 1.5 cm/hour in contrast to Friedman's study which had a mean rate of cervical dilatation of 3 cm/hour with lower limit of 1.2 cm/hour as 5th centile.
conclusionIn the present study the mean rate of cervical dilatation in active phase in Indian women was approximately equivalent to the lowest acceptable rate of cervical dilatation in Friedman's study. If we continued to follow Friedman's labor norms, it could result in increasing c-sections. Hence, it would be prudent to create a customized labor curve for the local population served based on their individual characteristics features.
