Predicting factors of failed induction of labor in three hospitals of Southwest Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

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
introductionFailed induction of labor affects maternal and neonatal outcomes as well as the cost of healthcare, especially in low-resource setting regions in which the prevalence of failed induction is higher despite the incidence of labor induction is low. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of failed induction of labor in southwest Ethiopia.
methodA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 441 induced women from March 1 to August 30, 2018. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected using a pretested and structured questionnaire. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were done and fitted to identify predictors of failed induction. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to determine the level of significance.
resultPremature rupture of membrane was the most common cause of labor induction and the commonly used method of labor induction were oxytocin infusion. Cesarean section was done for 28.1% of induced women. Failed induction of labor was found to be 21%. Primiparous [AOR = 2.35 (1.35-4.09)], analgesia/anesthesia [AOR = 4.37 (1.31-14.59)], poor Bishop Score [AOR = 2.37 (1.16-4.84)], Birth weight ≥ 4 k grams [AOR = 2.12 (1.05-4.28)] and body mass index [AOR = 5.71 (3.26-10.01)] were found to be significantly associated with failed induction of labor.
conclusionThe prevalence of failed induction of labour was found to be high. Preparation of the cervix before induction in primi-parity women is suggested to improve the success of induction. To achieve the normal weight of women and newborns, proper nutritional interventions should be given for women of reproductive age. It is better to use analgesia/anesthesia for labor induction when it becomes mandatory and there are no other optional methods of no- pharmacologic pain management.
