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
Objective: We explored the feasibility and safety of external cephalic version (ECV) for cases of breech presentation. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 158 singleton pregnant women with breech presentation at 36 weeks gestation, admitted to Guangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine from January 2018 to March 2022. 42 underwent ECV, categorized as the ECV group, while 116 without ECV comprised the control group. Systematic collection and evaluation of pregnancy outcomes were conducted for both groups. Results: Within the control group, 16 cases experienced a spontaneous transition to head presentation, among which 14 cases resulted in successful vaginal deliveries. In 2 cases, cesarean deliveries were performed due to fetal macrosomia and persistent posterior occipital presentation. Furthermore, 2 cases of breech presentation in pregnant women were successfully delivered vaginally through breech traction, necessitating an emergency procedure due to the wide opening of the uterus. Within the ECV group, 28 cases were successfully inverted to the cephalic presentation. Among them, 1 case underwent an emergency cesarean delivery due to fetal distress during cephalic delivery, 3 cases required cesarean deliveries due to abnormal labor, and 24 cases were successfully delivered vaginally. The comparative analyses showed that the cesarean section rate (18/42 vs 100/116) and non-cephalic delivery rate (14/42 vs 100/116) in the ECV group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( Conclusion: ECV can effectively reduce the rate of cesarean delivery and non-cephalic deliveries. However, it but requires strict adherence to indications and continuous monitoring.
