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

objectivesFor women with Swyer Syndrome, a 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis, full term pregnancies are possible after oocyte donation. According to literature, mode of delivery is almost always by Caesarean section for various reasons. Medical indications are multiple pregnancies and related complications, preeclampsia, an androgynous shaped pelvis and failed induction of labor. Elective Caesarean sections were performed based on maternal request and medical recommendation.

methodsFollowing careful examination and shared decision making, we planned a spontaneous delivery with a patient with Swyer syndrome and tested the different hypotheses regarding anatomical and functional features according to literature. In addition, deliveries of women with Swyer Syndrome were analyzed in a German multicenter case series.

resultsA total of seven women with Swyer syndrome with a total of 10 pregnancies were identified, who later gave birth to twelve live-born children. Seven out of 10 births were performed by elective and non-elective Caesarean section, three births took place vaginally.

conclusionsIn summary, the risk of Caesarean section delivery has increased, but spontaneous delivery can be attempted in the event of inconspicuous findings.
