Trends in Attempted and Successful Trial of Labor After Cesarean Delivery in the United States From 2010 to 2020.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07006896 (Labor Induction After Cesarean), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
The vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) delivery rate was last reported as 13.8% in 2019. However, contemporary trends in attempted and successful trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) delivery among individuals with prior cesarean delivery have not been evaluated. We performed a repeated cross-sectional analysis of singleton, cephalic, term deliveries in individuals with a history of one or two cesarean deliveries in the National Vital Statistics System from 2010 to 2020. Temporal trends in attempted and successful TOLAC, as well as VBAC, were characterized using joinpoint regression. Overall, 4,277,800 deliveries were included. Attempted TOLAC increased from 15.3% in 2010 to 21.7% in 2020, with an annual percent increase (relative) of 4.25% (95% CI 2.9-5.6%). Successful TOLAC increased from 69.8% to 74.7%, with an annual percent change (relative) of 0.91% (95% CI 0.7-1.2%). The VBAC rate similarly increased such that, by 2020, it was 16.2%.
