Success rate and obstetric outcomes of trial of labor after cesarean delivery-Decision-tree analysis.

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
backgroundPregnant women with a previous cesarean delivery (CD) may opt for a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) or elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD). This study aimed to evaluate the success rate, and maternal, and perinatal outcomes of TOLAC and to develop a predictive decision-tree algorithm for successful TOLAC.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary medical center and included all women with one prior CD who delivered between 2008 and 2019. Maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared between successful and failed TOLAC and ERCD groups. A decision-tree algorithm was constructed using the χ
resultsOf 10 325 women with one prior CD (out of 103 542 deliveries), the rate of successful TOLAC, defined as vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), was 81.92%. Symptomatic uterine rupture occurred in 55 women (0.98%), with no cases of hysterectomy, or maternal or neonatal death. The decision tree identified key predictors of VBAC success, including maternal age, gestational age at delivery, and history of vaginal delivery. Women with a prior vaginal delivery had the highest likelihood of VBAC (90.3%). The overall accuracy of the model was 82.7%.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated a high rate of TOLAC attempts and VBAC success in a tertiary medical center with experienced staff and close monitoring. Uterine rupture was rare and not associated with severe maternal or neonatal morbidity or mortality. The decision-tree algorithm provides a practical tool to predict successful TOLAC, supporting individualized care and informed decision making.
