Shoulder Shrug Maneuver to Facilitate Delivery During Shoulder Dystocia.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundShoulder dystocia is a potential complication of vaginal delivery that increases the chances of injury to the neonate and the mother. The incidence of dystocia can be up to 3%, and sudden presentation and the lack of reliable predictors make shoulder dystocia a challenge for obstetricians. TECHNIQUE: The shoulder shrug technique involves shrugging the posterior shoulder and rotating the head-shoulder unit 180 degrees to resolve the shoulder dystocia. EXPERIENCE: We describe successful delivery in three cases of persistent shoulder dystocia using the shoulder shrug technique after the dystocia could not be resolved with McRoberts maneuver.
conclusionWhen successful, the shoulder shrug maneuver may decrease the likelihood of morbidity for the neonate. The technique has resolved dystocia in three cases in which the posterior shoulder could be shrugged. Because it does not take much time to perform the shoulder shrug maneuver, it is worth considering this technique during management of unresolved shoulder dystocia.
