External Cephalic Version: A Dying Art Worth Reviving.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeBreech presentation is the most common abnormal presentation occurring in 3-4% of all deliveries. Incidence of caesarean section for breech presentation has increased markedly in the last few decades. Attempting external cephalic version (ECV) reduces the chance of non-cephalic presentation at term, thus reducing the rate of caesarean sections.
methodsProspective study was conducted in secondary healthcare centre, in rural set-up from August 2013 to August 2015. A total of 52 patients were enrolled into the study.
resultsECV was successful in 32 out of 52 patients with overall success of 61.5%. Out of the 32 successful ECVs, 24 patients delivered vaginally (75%) (
conclusionECV is a safe procedure with high percentage of patients delivering vaginally after successful version. Hence, acquiring skills in ECV should be considered mandatory in the postgraduate training of future obstetricians.
