1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWomen undergoing induction of labor should be empowered with accurate information.

objectiveThis study aimed to examine the characteristics of and indications for induction of labor and delivery outcomes to help inform practice and counseling. STUDY

designWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of all singleton pregnancies undergoing induction of labor over a 3-month period in a tertiary-level hospital in the Republic of Ireland. Data were obtained from paper and electronic registries. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed on data collected.

resultsThere were 1084 women delivered, with an induction rate of 46.0% (n=499). Primiparous women were more likely to be induced compared with multiparous women (51.4%; n=254/494 vs 41.5%; n=245/590;

conclusionInformation on induction of labor can aid in the guidance and education of women undergoing the process, educate clinicians for appropriate counseling, and facilitate shared decision-making.
