Emergency cerclage outcomes for bulging fetal membranes: a single-center retrospective study.
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. Cited by 3 papers.
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 investigate the usefulness of emergency cerclage for pregnant women with bulging fetal membranes, as indicated by our original noninvasive clinical scoring system.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of pregnant women who underwent emergency cerclage for bulging fetal membranes within 28 weeks. The primary outcome was the continuation of pregnancy at 34 gestational weeks in singleton pregnancies and 32 gestational weeks in twin pregnancies. The secondary outcomes were the interval from cerclage to delivery, neonatal mortality, and morbidity. To determine surgical indication, we used the original clinical scoring system comprising cervical shortening or dilation degree and uterine contraction levels.
results128 women were included in this study (112 singleton pregnancies and 16 twin pregnancies). The continuation of pregnancy rate as the primary outcome (Cerclage Success group) was 78.6% in singleton pregnancies and 75% in twin pregnancies. The median interval between cerclage and delivery was 94 days in singleton pregnancies and 78 days in twin pregnancies. Approximately 85% of the babies weighed ≥ 1500 g at birth. Neonatal mortality occurred in only one case, and nine singletons in the Cerclage Failure group had severe neonatal morbidities. According to multivariate analysis of prognostic factors in the Cerclage Failure group, only the serum C-reactive protein level at 1 week postoperatively was an independent prognostic factor (odds ratio: 9.75; 95% confidence interval: 2.99-31.8; p < 0.01).
conclusionEmergency cerclage, performed under the indications of our original noninvasive clinical scoring system, led to favorable outcomes.
