1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundStudies have found an association between second-stage cesarean sections (SSCSs) and subsequent preterm birth (PTB). We aimed to evaluate if secundiparas with previous second-stage cesarean sections due to a failed vacuum delivery (SSCS-F-VD) are associated with PTB in the subsequent delivery compared with secundiparas with previous spontaneous vaginal birth (SVB) at term. A secondary aim was to compare this association with secundiparas with a previous SSCS at term.

methodsA historical, prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted in a large tertiary university hospital between 2006 and 2019. Matched mothers who experienced first and second births at the indexed hospital, excluding those with a previous miscarriage or multiple pregnancy in either the first or second birth were grouped based on the mode of delivery and gestational week of the first birth.

resultsParturients with term SVB and term SSCSs were less likely to experience PTB in the following delivery compared with those who underwent an SSCS-F-VD, with 496/14,551 (3.4%) versus 6/160 (3.8%) versus 5/61 (8.2%), respectively, at

conclusionPrevious SSCS-F-VD is associated with PTB in the following delivery, offering valuable insights for pregnancy management and patient counseling.
