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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to observe mode of delivery among women with a history of prior cesarean birth.
methodsAfter collecting data on a convenience sample of 1,000 women giving birth at 28 weeks gestation or greater at Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital, we reduced the sample to only include women with a history of prior cesarean birth. We wanted to observe mode of delivery among this cohort and determine if any characteristics were associated with elective repeat cesarean birth, as compared to vaginal birth after cesarean.
resultsOf 1,000 women in our convenience sample, data on history of prior cesarean birth was missing on 2 women (0.2%). Of the remaining women, 49 (4.9%) reported a history of prior cesarean; 44 (89.8%) reported one prior cesarean and 5 (10.2%) women had two prior cesarean births. Repeat cesarean birth occurred in 65.1% (n = 29/44) of women with one prior cesarean and in 80.0% (n = 4/5) of women with two prior surgeries. Among the total cohort of women with a history of prior cesarean birth, of those who experienced repeat cesarean birth (n = 33), 27.3% (n = 9) occurred pre-labor, 69.7% (n = 23) occurred intrapartum after the onset of spontaneous labor, and 3.0% (n = 1) occurred intrapartum during the course of an induced or augmented labor. Labor onset and cervical exam on admission were statistically significantly different in bivariate comparisons of women who successfully achieved vaginal birth after cesarean as compared to those who gave birth by repeat cesarean birth, and postpartum maternal antibiotics were more common after repeat cesarean birth, p < 0.05. In a multivariable model of factors associated with successful vaginal birth after cesarean, the likelihood of successful vaginal birth was increased 15% for each increasing centimeter of dilation on a woman's admission cervical exam (RR 1.15, p= 0.004).
conclusionAlmost one-third of women in our observational cohort attempted trial of labor after cesarean; those that were successful were more likely to have been more cervically dilated on their admission exam. No sociodemographic or obstetrical characteristics were more likely among women who underwent pre-labor repeat cesarean birth as compared to intrapartum cesarean birth.
