Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Induction of labour is the artificial initiation of uterine contraction by various means such as medical, surgical or mechanical with the aim of achieving vaginal delivery. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analogue is used popularly for the induction of labour in resource-limited health centres. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of induction of labour among pregnant women in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women in a tertiary care centre from 3 February 2022 to 31 July 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee. The women with a singleton pregnancy, reactive non-stress test, and adequate pelvis were included. Women with malpresentation, previous cesarean section, placenta previa, and cephalopelvic disproportion were excluded. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 1355 pregnant women, the prevalence of induction of labour was found to be 135 (9.96%) (8.37-11.55, 95% Confidence Interval). Conclusions: The prevalence of induction of labour among pregnant women was found to be similar to other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: induction of labour; misoprostol; pregnancy.
