Repeat Cesarean Section among Pregnant Women in a Tertiary Center of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionCesarean Section is the most common obstetrics surgery done for both maternal and fetal indications. There is a rising trend of cesarean section rates which is associated with increased maternal morbidities. This study aims to find out the prevalence of repeat Cesarean Section among women with previous cesarean sections done in a tertiary centre.
methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital of Nepal from August 2020 to January 2021. Pregnant women with previous Cesarean Section status without other pelvic surgery and medical comorbidities were included and data were collected regarding intraoperative findings. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference Number: 14). A convenience sampling technique was used. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated, with frequency and percentage.
resultsOut of 1315 patients undergoing Cesarean Section, the prevalence of Repeat Cesarean Section was found to be 184 (13.99%) (12.11-15.86 at 95% Confidence Interval).
conclusionsThe prevalence of Repeat Cesarean Cection from our study was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Repeat Cesarean Cection confers peri-operative morbidities which adversely affect postoperative recovery. Repeat Cesarean Cection continues to contribute to morbidity over subsequent pregnancies and serious maternal morbidity.
