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/

aimOur study compares repeat cesarian section with and without labor in progress and evaluates adverse maternal outcomes that could discourage pregnant women in planning labor at term or at least after 39 weeks of gestation as recommended due to benefits in neonatal outcome. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this retrospective study, we analyzed 191 patients undergoing third C-section and compared two groups of women of undergoing C-section either before or after the onset of labor. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of maternal morbidity. Values of p≤0.05 were regarded as significant.

resultsComparing the two subgroups, we did not find any significant differences in the occurrence of maternal complications or severe acute morbidity except for incomplete uterine rupture (p=0.04).

conclusionUndergoing a third C-section after the start of labor has no relevant or adverse impact on maternal outcome. Therefore, elective repeat C-section can be planned in late weeks of gestation aiming at reducing neonatal morbidity. The higher rate of uterine dehiscence was not associated with other issues of severe acute maternal morbidity.
