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

introductionOptimal fetal positioning is essential for ensuring that labor progresses efficiently and reducing the need for interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of the Spinning Babies

methodsThis retrospective study was based on data collected by midwifery students, supervised by experienced midwifery tutors, using digital partograms. The fetal position was recorded at several stages of labor, particularly at the labor onset and at the delivery. For the current analysis, only women with an occiput-posterior or occiput-transverse fetal position were included. The Spinning Babies

resultsA total of 244 partograms were identified. Of these, 60 women underwent the Spinning Babies

conclusionsOptimal fetal positioning may be facilitated using Spinning Babies
