Uterine Reaction to Oxytocin and Maternal-Neonatal Outcomes in Inducing Labor: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. 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
Background: Previous studies did not investigate the effect of gradually increasing the concentration of low-dose oxytocin on mother and newborn outcomes. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between oxytocin responsiveness and outcomes for both mothers and newborns during labor induction. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Nantong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and participants were divided into the early reaction to oxytocin group and the later reaction to oxytocin group based on oxytocin response. Primary outcomes included Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes, umbilical cord artery pH, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and postpartum hemorrhage. Secondary outcomes assessed the duration of labor. Multiple regression models were used to compare maternal and infant outcomes between the two groups. Results: A total of 1803 participants were finally included in the statistical analysis, with 1083 in the early reaction to oxytocin group and 720 in the later reaction to oxytocin group. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the risk of a lower 1-minute Apgar score (OR: 1.924, 95% CI: 1.012-3.655), an increased rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission (OR: 2.064, 95% CI: 1.150-3.703), and a higher incidence of postpartum hemorrhage were observed in the later reaction to oxytocin group (OR: 2.342, 95% CI: 1.631-3.361). Additionally, in this group, the first and second phases of labor were seen to be more drawn out (P<0.001, P<0.001). Conclusion: Later reaction to oxytocin was consistently associated with lower 1-minute Apgar scores, an increased number of admissions to neonatal intensive care units, a labor's first and second phases lasting a long time, and an increased occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage. These findings underscore the importance of identifying women who exhibit a delayed response to oxytocin in clinical practice. Trial Registration: The project was retrospectively registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (TRN: ChiCTR2100047137; 08/06/2021).
