1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

By observing and analyzing the success rate of Tai'an City central hospital TOLAC and VBNC and various indicators after delivery, we make sure whether TOLAC is safe and feasible to be promoted in Tai'an area.Between January and December 2017, data of 144 cases undergoing TOLAC, 152 cases undergoing VBNC, 152 cases undergoing RCS and 142 case undergoing PCS in Tai'an City Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The success rate of vaginal delivery, labor time, 24 hours postpartum hemorrhage, hospital stay, Apgar score of newborns and puerperal morbidity were observed.Primary study outcomes: The success rates of the TOLAC and VBNC groups were 93.06% and 93.42%, respectively, where the difference was not statistically significant (P = .901). Secondary study outcomes: There were no significant differences in labor time (P = .0249), amount of 24 hours postpartum hemorrhage (P = .206), Apgar score of newborns (P = .582), hospital stay (P = .194) and puerperal morbidity (P = .942) between the VBAC group and VBNC group. There were statistically significant differences in amount of 24 hours postpartum hemorrhage (P < .001), hospital stay (P < .001) and puerperal morbidity (P = .018), but no difference in Apgar score of newborns (P = .228) between the VBAC group and RCS group. There were significant differences in operation time (P = .011), amount of 24 hours hemorrhage (P = .001), hospital stay (P = .001) and puerperal morbidity (P = .041), but no significant difference in Apgar score of newborns (P = .300) between the RCS and PCS groups.The TOLAC is as safe and feasible as VBNC, and more favorable to the safety of mother and fetus than RCS in Tai'an area.
