The Impact of Total Deceleration Area and Fetal Growth on Neonatal Acidemia in Vacuum Extraction Deliveries.

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
We aimed to investigate the correlation between total deceleration area (TDA), neonatal birthweight and neonatal acidemia in vacuum extractions (VEs). This is a retrospective study in a tertiary hospital, including VE performed due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate (NRFHR). Electronic fetal monitoring during the 120 min preceding delivery was interpreted by two obstetricians who were blinded to neonatal outcomes. TDA was calculated as the sum of the area under the curve for each deceleration. Neonatal birthweights were classified as low (<2500 g), normal (2500-3999 g) or macrosomic (>4000 g). A total of 85 VEs were analyzed. Multivariable linear regression, adjusted for gestational age, nulliparity and diabetes mellitus, revealed a negative correlation between TDA in the 60 min preceding delivery and umbilical cord pH. For every 10 K increase in TDA, the cord pH decreased by 0.02 (
