Effects of labor induction in obesity with delayed pregnancy: A retrospective study based on Chinese obese primipara.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: To test the hypothesis that obese primiparous women with an unfavorable cervix in delayed pregnancy may experience a worse induction of labor. Study design: In total, 467 primiparas with poor cervical condition and delayed pregnancy (gestational age [GA]: >40weeks) were divided into an obese primiparas group (body mass index [BMI] >30kg/m Results: BMI in the obese primiparas group was higher than in the non-obese group (33.91 ± 2.67 versus 24.09 ± 5.78, p<0.001), and there were significant differences in uterine tone and duration of contractions between the two groups in the second stage of labour (p=0.041, p=0.026, respectively).The rate of cesarean section (CS) was significantly higher in the primiparas group (23.49% versus 12.29%; P=0.002). There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the duration of time to vaginal delivery (VD) (18h versus 8h; P <0.001) while the duration until VD in the obese primiparas group within 12 hours and 24 hours was significantly longer (P <0.001). After adjusting for possible confounders, caesarean section rates remained high in the obese primiparas women (OR: 2.564;95%CI1.919,3.864;P<0.001). Similarly, after adjusting for the same confounding factors, obese primiparas women increased the duration until VD within 24 h by 3.598 hours. Conclusion: Obese primiparas with an unfavorable cervix in delayed pregnancy have a significantly higher risk of CS and a longer duration until VD than non-obese primiparas during labor induction.
