Effect of Early Amniotomy on Delivery Outcome with/without Cervical Ripening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Although shorter labors are the benefits of Early Amniotomy (EA), it may lead to risks such as non-reassuring fetal testing and cesarean delivery. Also, the effect of cervical ripening to induce labor before amniotomy is unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effect of EA on the delivery outcome with or without cervical ripening. Materials and Methods: Bibliographic search was conducted without time limit until June 2020. PubMed, Scopus SID Magiran, Cochrane Library Science website, and ISI databases were searched with English and Farsi keywords, including amniotomy, delivery, induced, and pregnancy outcome. Results: The meta-analysis on ten clinical trials showed that the incidence of cesarean section was lower (0.89% VS 0.94; relative risk, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.55-1.30) compared to the group without cervical ripening, and the time to induce labor was approximately 55 minutes (mean difference, 0.91 hour; 95% confidence interval, -1.43 to - 0.33). Conclusions: If EA is performed in women after cervical ripening, the incidence of cesarean section will not increase, and the duration of labor will be reduced. A shorter delivery time is associated with perinatal benefits and greater maternal satisfaction. Furthermore, EA with cervical ripening may reduce monitoring time in busy hospitals with limited medical staff.
