Effect of the Presence of Nuchal Cords on Vaginal Breech Labor.
Article in Cureus, 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
objectiveBreech delivery has been reported to be associated with a high incidence of abnormal fetal heart rate pattern leading to neonatal asphyxia. In this study, we examined the effect of the presence of nuchal cords on perinatal outcomes of vaginal breech labor.
methodsWe reviewed the obstetric records of all singleton breech labor cases at the Japanese Red Cross Katsushika Maternity Hospital between 1999 and 2011. Of the 266 breech labor cases in singleton pregnancies, the presence of nuchal cords was recognized in 50 cases (18.8%) on neonatal findings at birth. We compared the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes between the breech labor cases with and without nuchal cords. A chi-square test was used for categorical data, and a p-value <0.05 was considered significant.
resultsIt was found that the incidence of fetal heart rate abnormality during breech labor or neonatal asphyxia in the deliveries with nuchal cords was not significantly different from that in those without nuchal cords. Also, there was no significant difference in the rate of emergent caesarean delivery between the two labors with and without nuchal cords.
conclusionThe current results suggest that the presence of nuchal cords may not be associated with perinatal outcomes. Our results may become one of several pieces of evidence leading to the alleviation of anxiety in pregnant women with breech presentation and fetal nuchal cords.
