Success rate and outcome of labor epidural among variable levels of residents and practicing anesthesiologists in an academic medical center in Saudi Arabia.

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 and Aims: This study aimed to highlight differences in success rates and patient outcomes during epidural insertion among anesthesia staff, junior trainees, and staff anesthesiologists. Methods: We included all women who received a labor epidural between January 1, 2020 and April 30, 2022. The cases were divided into three groups: junior residents, senior residents, and staff anesthesiologists. Results: Among 822 cases included in analysis, 92, 240, and 490 catheters were placed by junior residents, senior residents, and staff anesthesiologists, respectively. Although the success rate among junior residents (90.7%) was lower than those of senior residents (97%) and staff anesthesiologists (95.1%), the difference was not significant ( Conclusions: With the success rate above 90%, junior anesthesia trainees require more time and attempts to insert labor epidurals. It is essential that training programs provide opportunities for anesthesia trainees to become proficient in their epidural insertion techniques prior to clinical practice.
