Single Sporadic Deceleration during Reactive Nonstress Test-Clinical Significance and Risk for Cesarean Delivery.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
objectiveEvidence regarding the clinical significance of a single sporadic variable deceleration (SSD) in reactive non-stress test (NST) is scarce, and optimal management has yet to be established. We aim to evaluate whether SSD during a reactive NST at term is associated with a higher risk for fetal heart rate decelerations during labor and the need for intervention.
methodsThis was a retrospective, case-control study of singleton term pregnancies at one university-affiliated medical center in 2018. The study group consisted of all pregnancies with an SSD in an otherwise reactive NST. For each case, two consecutive pregnancies without SSD were matched in a 1:2 ratio. The primary outcome was the rate of cesarean delivery (CD) due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate monitoring (NRFHRM).
results84 women with an SSD were compared to 168 controls. SSD during antenatal fetal surveillance did not increase the rate of CD overall or for NRFHRM (17.9% vs. 13.7% and 10.7% vs. 7.7%, respectively,
conclusionsSSD during a reactive NST in term pregnancies is not associated with an increased risk for adverse perinatal outcomes. SSD should not necessarily require induction of labor, and expectant management is a reasonable alternative.
