Perinatal outcome of vaginal breech delivery in Orotta National Referral Teaching Hospital, Eritrea, 2024; a case control study.
Article in PloS one, 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
introductionDelivery of fetus in breech presentation is a controversial topic in obstetrics and it had been the subject of debate since 1980s. As experts with abilities and know-how to perform vaginal breech delivery have decreased, and medico legal concerns increased, some physicians endorse cesarean section for breech presentation at term. The aim of this study was to identify the perinatal outcome in vaginal breech deliveries. METHODOLOGY: This study was a retrospective case control study of mothers delivered vaginally between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2023 in Orotta National Referral Teaching Hospital. Mothers who gave vaginal breech delivery (VBD) were enrolled as cases and two successive vertex vaginal deliveries (VVD) as controls.
resultsA total of 1919 patient records were analyzed, of which 641(33.6%) were cases and 1278 (66.4%) controls. The mean age and parity of the mothers was 28.98 (SD = 5.56) and 2.18 (SD = 1.96) respectively. History of previous stillbirth was documented in 0.4% and multiple pregnancies found in 10.2% of the study participants. The prevalence of stillbirth was 5% (1% in controls and 4% in cases). In multivariate analysis address from other zobas (AOR: 3.63, 95% CI: 2.17-6.09, p < 0.011), high gravidity (AOR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.18-2.22, p < 0.001), low birth weight (AOR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.42-2.90, p < 0.001), and multiple fetus (AOR: 4.83, 95% CI: 3.28-7.11, p < 0.001, were associated with risk of having vaginal breech delivery. Primiparity (AOR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.18-0.36 p < 0.001) and birth weight >3.4 kg (AOR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47-0.79, p < 0.001) were protective against having vaginal breech delivery. Vaginal breech deliveries was found to be associated low first minute Apgar (AOR: 14.95, 95% CI: 9.36-23.26, p < 0.001).
conclusionVaginal breech delivery was associated with low first minute Apgar. Address from others zobas, high gravidity, low birth weight, and multiple fetuses increases the risk of having Breech presentation, Vaginal breech delivery, Perinatal morbidity, Nulliparous vaginal breech delivery while primiparity and increasing birth weight were protective.
