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

introductionMaternal obesity carries an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. This study investigated whether the body mass index (BMI) of women with induced labour was associated with the mode of delivery and neonatal outcome.

methodsThis was a retrospective study of primigravidae women under the age of 40 years who were induced at term for various indications. Data were collected from the electronic database of the Maternity Unit where these women gave birth.

resultsWe sampled 1274 women with a mean age of 26.3±5.9 years. The mean BMI at booking was 26.5 kg/m

conclusionsWe show that an increasing BMI in women with induced labour was associated with increased CS rates and lower Apgar scores. These findings highlight the important role of midwives in engaging women in weight management before they get pregnant.
