Association between placental site and successful induction of labor among postdate primiparous women.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
purposeThis study aimed to determine the association between placental site and successful labor induction.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited all postdate primiparous women undergoing induction of labor. Eligible women were subjected to proper history taking and clinical examination. Vaginal examination to determine the bishop score was done. Routine antenatal scan was done for fetal biometry and the placental site. Transvaginal ultrasound was done for cervical length assessment. Induction of labor was commenced and women were subdivided into those with successful induction (delivered vaginally) and those with failed induction (needed cesarean delivery).
resultsSuccessful induction was achieved in 73/91 (80.2%) participants. The bishop score was significantly increased among women with successful induction (4.6 ± 0.9 vs 3.9 ± 1.1, p value 0.014). In addition, the cervical length was significantly shorter among those who delivered vaginally (2.6 ± 0.5 vs 4.2 ± 0.5, p value 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the placental site among women with failed or successful induction. The cervical length was the only significant predictor for successful induction of labor (p value 0.0001). The placental site showed a non-significant role in the prediction of successful vaginal delivery (p value 0.280).
conclusionThe placental site is not associated with the outcome of labor induction. The cervical length was the significant predictor for successful induction of labor.
