Sonographic fetal head circumference and the risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury following vaginal delivery.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2020. 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
introductionHigh birth weight is strongly associated with OASIS; nevertheless, it has not been determined which biometric characteristics most affect OASIS occurrence. We aimed to evaluate the association of estimated fetal head circumference with OASIS occurrence among primiparous women delivering by unassisted vaginal delivery.
methodsA retrospective study included all primiparous women who delivered at term by spontaneous vaginal delivery from 2011-2019. Women were allocated to two groups: (1) those who experienced OASIS and (2) those who did not experience OASIS. Risk factors for OASIS were analyzed.
resultsOverall, 7646 women were included in the study cohort. Of those, 119/7646 (1.6%; 95% CI, 1.3-1.9%) experienced OASIS. Sonographic head circumference and birth weight did not vary between groups. Prolonged second stage was more common in the OASIS group [23 (19%) vs. 986 (13.3%), 1.58 OR (95% CI 1.003-2.51, p = 0.04)]. Absence of epidural analgesia was more common in the OASIS group [30 (25%) vs. 1197 (15.9%), 1.8 OR (95% CI 1.1-2.7, p = 0.006)]. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the lack of epidural analgesia and duration of second stage of labor were both independently positively associated with OASIS [adjusted OR 2.67 (95% CI 1.55-4.62), p < 0.001, adjusted OR 1.23 (95% CI 1.11-1.43), p < 0.001, respectively)].
conclusionSonographic head circumference and birth weight are not associated with OASIS occurrence among primiparous women delivering by an unassisted vaginal delivery. Prolonged second stage and the use of epidural analgesia are modifiable risk factors among these women.
