The Effect of Using Dexamethasone Tablets Vaginally for Improving Cervical Bishop Score in Nulliparous Pregnant Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Current therapeutic research, clinical and experimental, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Cervix ripening and labor induction are common interventions in obstetrics. For optimal maternal health, labor may be induced under certain situations to improve fetal survival outcomes. Labor induction of an unripe cervix can lead to complications; therefore, several approaches can facilitate the ripening process. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was a triple-blind study that involved 84 pregnant nulliparous women enrolled between October 2019 and June 2021 in the labor ward of Kamali Hospital, Karaj, Iran. The pregnant women in the study underwent labor induction and were randomized into 2 groups: 1 group received vaginal dexamethasone and the other group was given a placebo. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups regarding maternal age, demographic characteristics, and initial Bishop score. The median second Bishop score (6 hours after intervention) was 3.5 in dexamethasone recipients and 3 in placebo recipients ( Conclusions: This randomized clinical trial demonstrated that administering dexamethasone tablets vaginally did not significantly improve cervical Bishop scores.
