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: Induction of labor (IOL) initiates labor artificially, aiming to prevent potential risks for both mother and fetus. However, data on IOL outcomes for parous women in the developing countries are scarce. Objectives: This study evaluates maternal and neonatal outcomes in parous women undergoing IOL at a Sudanese hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study included 75 parous women undergoing IOL at Haj-Alsafi Teaching Hospital. Demographic data, reasons for IOL, and maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 26, with Results: Of 600 women, 75 (12.5%) underwent IOL over 6 months. Main indications were hypertensive disorders (21.3%) and postterm pregnancy (17.3%). Successful vaginal delivery (88%) predominated, with 12% requiring instrumental delivery. Maternal complications included postpartum hemorrhage (8%) and ruptured uterus (1.3%), while 69.7% had no complications. The neonatal survival rate was 91%, with 30.7% admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for further care. Among the NICU admissions, the mortality rate was 17.4%, all were preterm neonates. Conclusion: IOL is associated with successful VD in 88% and low rate of complications among the parous women; however, greater efforts are needed to prevent serious outcomes among the neonates.
