The effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate on the time to colostrum and amount of vaginal bleeding after elective cesarean section.
Trial report in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 8 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 investigate the effect of oral carbohydrate at 2 h before elective cesarean section on postoperative recovery indicators such as the time to colostrum and vaginal bleeding.
methodsWomen undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal-epidural anesthesia, aged 20-40 years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 19-30 kg/m
resultsA total of 38 participants in the OC group, 37 in the OP group, and 37 in the C group completed the study. Compared with the OP group and the C group, the OC group produced colostrum significantly earlier, had a lower amount of 24-h vaginal bleeding, and had a higher 24-h consumption of analgesics. Compared with OP and OC groups, the C group took longer to exhaust. No significant intergroup difference was observed for any other indicator.
conclusionOral carbohydrates loading 2 h before elective cesarean section significantly reduces the time to produce colostrum and the amount of vaginal bleeding, which contributes to postoperative recovery.
