Recovery from Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury in a Prospective Cohort of First Births.
Article in American journal of perinatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify risk factors for obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) for primiparous women who gave birth vaginally and to compare recovery by OASIS status in three domains as follows: (1) physical health and functioning, (2) mental health, and (3) healthcare utilization. STUDY
designThis secondary analysis used data from 2,013 vaginal births in the First Baby Study, a prospective cohort study of women with first births between 2009 and 2011. Interview data at multiple time points were linked to birth certificate and hospital discharge data. The key exposure of interest was OASIS (3rd or 4th degree perineal laceration, identified in the hospital discharge data;
resultsEight percent of women had OASIS. In adjusted models, there were no differences in general physical health and functioning measures by OASIS (such as fatigue and overall self-rated health), but women with OASIS had higher rates of reporting perineal pain (
conclusionWomen with OASIS were at increased risk of accidental stool loss, bowel problems, and perineal pain in the immediate postpartum period. Women who had OASIS had similar physical functioning across a range of general health outcomes to women who gave birth vaginally without OASIS. KEY POINTS: · Higher risk of bowel problems and accidental stool loss 1-month postpartum with OASIS.. · Higher risk of perineal pain 1-month postpartum with OASIS.. · No differences in health outcomes at 6-months postpartum by OASIS..
