Labor induction in term nulliparous women with premature rupture of membranes: oxytocin versus dinoprostone.

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
introductionPremature rupture of the membranes (PROM) refers to rupture of the fetal membranes prior to the onset of regular uterine contractions. Premature rupture of the membranes continues to be one of the most vexing issues of obstetrics due to increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Many studies have focused on how management should be in these cases. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dinoprostone (PGE MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 224 nulliparous singleton pregnant women at term, with PROM ≥ 12 h, vertex presentations, no prior uterine surgery, reactive non-stress test and Bishop scores ≤ 6 (unfavorable cervixes) were reviewed. Participants were divided into two groups as oxytocin and dinoprostone groups. The primary outcome was vaginal delivery within 24 h.
resultsThe women in the oxytocin group were significantly younger than in the dinoprostone group (22.85 ±4.10 years vs. 25.99 ±4.94 years;
conclusionsVaginal dinoprostone appears to be a relatively inefficient method of inducing labor compared with oxytocin in term pregnancies with PROM and unfavorable cervixes. However, dinoprostone may maintain uterine contractions as effectively as oxytocin once uterine contractions are established.
