Beyond the numbers: Impact of obesity on obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) outcomes in women.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo compare the risk profiles, anatomical, and functional outcomes between obese and non-obese women who experienced obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI).
methodsA retrospective electronic database study was conducted at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH). Women with missing data/repairs conducted outside CUMH were excluded. Participants were categorized into obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultsAmong the 349 women included in the study, 285 (81.7%) had a BMI <30 kg/m
conclusionFunctional outcomes and manometry results did not differ, but non-obese women had higher rates of anatomical defects in OASI, requiring further study.
