Prospective Comparative Study of Misoprostol Alone Versus Mifepristone Plus Misoprostol for Second-Trimester Pregnancy Termination.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2024. 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: MTP has been legalized in India through the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, of 1971, which allows pregnancy termination up to 20 weeks. The present study included second-trimester pregnancy terminations and the main aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of tablet mifepristone 24 h before vaginal tablet misoprostol in group-I with vaginal tablet misoprostol alone in group-II as a method of second-trimester pregnancy termination. Methodology: It was a prospective randomized comparative study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, R.N.T. Medical College, Udaipur, Rajasthan, by selecting 100 patients, with equal no, i.e., 50 in each group who attended the inpatient department for second-trimester pregnancy termination (who were fulfilling the criteria as per MTP Act). Results: From the data analysis of 100 subjects in this study, we observed that the most common indication for second-trimester pregnancy termination was indication (III), which accounts for a total of 60%. Majority of the patients in either group were in the age group between 20 and 30 years, and there was more multigravida as compared to primigravida. The induction termination interval in the Mife-Miso group (group-I) was shorter, i.e., 10.21 h as compared to the Miso group (group-II), i.e.,18 h, and the difference between them was found to be statistically significant ( Conclusion: The pretreatment with oral mifepristone, provides a more safe, non-invasive, and effective regimen for second-trimester termination of pregnancy, which significantly reduces induction termination interval with more success rate.
