Determinants of Successful Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Southeast China.

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
Objective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the success of a trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) and to evaluate associated maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from women with a prior cesarean section who underwent TOLAC at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital in Southeast China between January 2016 and January 2018. Of the 1179 women who attempted TOLAC, 1038 achieved vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) while 141 experienced unsuccessful trials. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were compared between the successful and unsuccessful TOLAC groups using the Results: Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that maternal height (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.05-1.14), abdominal circumference (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.91-0.98), ultrasound-estimated fetal weight (OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.99-1.00), and history of vaginal delivery (OR = 9.62, 95% CI = 2.33-39.67) were independently associated with successful TOLAC. No significant differences were observed between the successful and unsuccessful TOLAC groups in terms of neonatal asphyxia, postpartum hemorrhage, placental abruption, or bladder injury. Conclusion: Maternal height, abdominal circumference, ultrasound-estimated fetal weight, and history of vaginal delivery were identified as influential factors for VBAC success. Clinical evaluation of these factors may enhance the selection criteria for TOLAC candidates, potentially increasing VBAC rates and reducing cesarean section rates overall.
