Do the Antenatal Care and Perinatal Outcomes of Women with a Vietnamese Migration Background Differ from Those of Other Women?: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Introduction: In Germany, 0.25% of the total population are persons with a Vietnamese migration background. There are almost no studies on this particular group of immigrants. We compared the perinatal data of women with a Vietnamese migration background with the pregnancy outcomes of non-Vietnamese women also living in Germany. Methods: After using name analysis to allocate women into different groups, the perinatal data of women with a Vietnamese migration background who gave birth between 1.1.2016 and 31.12.2019 in Campus Charité Mitte in Berlin were retrospectively evaluated. These data were compared in a 3:1 ratio with the data of women of non-Vietnamese origin and the same age and parity. Multivariate regression analysis was used to determine factors which influenced caesarean section rates, the transfer rates of neonates to the neonatal department, and the rates of higher degree perineal tears. Results: The perinatal data of 470 women with a Vietnamese migration background, 209 (44.5%) of whom were registered as living in a refugee shelter, were compared with those of 1410 controls. An "ideal pregnancy outcome," which included giving birth after 37 + 0 weeks of gestation, a 5-minute Apgar score ≥ 8, arterial cord blood pH ≥ 7.20, no transfer of the newborn to the neonatal department, and spontaneous birth or vacuum extraction without a higher degree perineal tear, was recorded for 44.5% of women with and 38.1% of women without a Vietnamese migration background (p = 0.1), despite the lower attendance rates at antenatal screening appointments of Vietnamese women. Accommodation in a shelter for refugees was a protective factor against caesarean section (OR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.36-0.73) and transfer of the newborn to the neonatal department (OR 0.45, 95% CI: 0.23-0.89). A Vietnamese migration background was a risk factor for a third-degree perineal tear (OR 5.4, 95% CI: 1.4-21.30). Conclusion: Despite lower levels of antenatal care, women with a Vietnamese migration background did not have poorer pregnancy outcomes.
