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
objectiveTo determine delivery outcomes in women diagnosed with prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) who required re-amniotomy.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 24 966 women with PROM at a single university-affiliated tertiary medical center (2011-2023). Labor outcome was compared between women requiring re-amniotomy during delivery and those who did not. The primary outcome was the rate of cesarean delivery (CD). Secondary outcomes were maternal obstetric complications, including assisted operative vaginal delivery, intrapartum fever, postpartum hemorrhage, need for blood products transfusion and need for re-admission within 30 days postpartum.
resultsRe-amniotomy was required in 5.5% (n = 1364) of cases and was associated with higher CD rates (10.2% versus 5.6%, P < 0.001). In the adjusted analysis controlling for significant confounders identified in univariate analysis, re-amniotomy remained independently associated with increased risk for CD (adjusted odds ratio 1.452, 95% confidence interval 1.010-2.080, P = 0.043). For secondary maternal obstetric outcomes (assisted vaginal delivery, intrapartum fever, and postpartum hemorrhage), no independent associations with re-amniotomy were found after multivariate adjustment. Women requiring re-amniotomy had significantly longer intervals from PROM to delivery (26:49 ± 19:52 vs. 18:36 ± 14:34 h:min, P < 0.001) and lower rates of achieving active labor within 24 h (62.3% vs. 74.2%, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe need for re-amniotomy during delivery in women with PROM is associated with an increased risk for CD and prolonged labor.
