Effects of maternal age on the mode of delivery following induction of labor in nulliparous term pregnancies: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Health science reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background and Aim: Increased maternal age at the time of pregnancy and labor is believed to have potential complications. To evaluate the effects of maternal age on the mode of delivery among nulliparous women with term pregnancies who underwent labor induction. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 313 women with the gestational age of at least ≥37 weeks, were enrolled. They were divided based on their maternal ages as: Group A < 35 years old (y/o) and Group B ≥ 35 y/o patients. Demographic features and other variables (i.e., past medical history, social history, indications and methods of labor induction, causes of cesarean delivery) were recorded from patients' files. Final outcomes were categorized as: primary (i.e., rate of cesarean section: C/S) and (b) secondary (i.e., duration of labor, postpartum complications, neonatal variables). All data were analyzed by the SPSS ver.21 software. Results: Median and interquartile ranges of gestational age were not significantly different, comparing the two groups ( Conclusions: Increased maternal age is associated with higher rates of CS among nulliparous women with term pregnancies who underwent labor induction.
