1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of patients with oligohydramnios attempting a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) versus those who underwent planned repeat cesarean delivery (PRCD).

methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with a term singleton pregnancy following a single low-segment transverse cesarean delivery (CD) and a recent diagnosis of oligohydramnios (maximal vertical pocket <2 cm) between 2017 and 2021. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between patients attempting TOLAC and those opting for PRCD. Univariate analysis was conducted, followed by a multivariate analysis.

resultsA total of 352 deliveries were included, of which 278 (79%) attempted TOLAC and 74 (21%) attempted PRCD. The successful vaginal delivery rate for patients who attempted TOLAC was 84.5%. The uterine rupture rate was not significantly different between those attempted TOLAC versus PRCD (1.1% vs. 0%, P = 0.371). However, the rate of hypoglycemia (2.2% vs. 8.1%, P = 0.012) and the composite adverse neonatal outcome was higher among patients with PRCD (11.5% vs. 24.3%, P = 0.005). After controlling for potential confounders, we still demonstrated an independent association between reduced rates of composite adverse neonatal outcome and TOLAC (adjusted odds ratio 0.46, 95% CI: 0.23-0.92, P = 0.028).

conclusionTOLAC for patients with oligohydramnios appears to be a reasonable alternative and is associated with favorable outcomes. Further large and prospective research on this subject may lead to improved management strategies and better maternal and neonatal outcomes.
