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

Background: Previous studies that suggest a shorter time from cervical ripening balloon placement to delivery with shorter total balloon placement time have excluded patients with prior cesarean deliveries. Objective: To evaluate, in patients with a prior history of cesarean delivery undergoing cervical ripening with a double-balloon catheter, whether planned removal of device after 6 vs 12 hours would result in shorter time to vaginal delivery. Study Design: A before-and-after study was performed after a practice change occurred November 2020, shortening the planned time of double-balloon catheter placement for cervical ripening from 12 to 6 hours. Data were collected via retrospective electronic chart review. Primary outcome was time from balloon placement to vaginal delivery. Secondary outcomes included rates of cesarean delivery, maternal intraamniotic infection, and uterine rupture. Kaplan-Meier curves compared median times to delivery between the groups. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to adjust for time of balloon placement, number of previous vaginal deliveries, and co-medications used. Results: From November 2018 to November 2022, 189 analyzable patients with a prior history of cesarean delivery received a double-balloon catheter for cervical ripening during their trial of labor. Patients were separated into pre- and postpolicy change groups ( Conclusion: In patients with prior cesarean delivery undergoing mechanical cervical ripening with a double-balloon catheter, planned removal at 6 hours compared to 12 hours may result in higher chances of successful vaginal delivery and possibly a shorter time to delivery, without increasing rates of cesarean delivery and intraamniotic infection.
