Uterine rupture in pregnancy over 5 years: A retrospective descriptive study.
Article in Women's health (London, England). 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
backgroundUterine rupture is a rare but serious complication in obstetrics, associated with maternal and fetal risks. This study evaluates its prevalence and outcomes in a Portuguese hospital.
objectivesTo assess the prevalence of uterine rupture in pregnancy, as well as the associated maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, in a hospital setting in Portugal.
designA retrospective descriptive study was conducted.
methodsRetrospective review of complete uterine rupture cases (2019-2024) at the Local Health Unit of Tâmega e Sousa. Data included maternal characteristics, obstetric history and outcomes.
resultsAmong 10,447 deliveries, 13 cases of uterine rupture occurred (12.44/10,000), primarily in women with prior caesarean sections (84.6%). Abnormal cardiotocography (76.9%) and abdominal pain (23.1%) were common signs. Fetal extrusion occurred in 69.2%. No maternal deaths were recorded, but perinatal mortality was 7.7%. Post-partum haemorrhage affected 61.5%, with five transfusions required.
conclusionThe prevalence of uterine rupture aligns with rates in developed countries. Caution is advised when using oxytocin in women with prior caesareans. Prompt detection and intervention are crucial to minimize complications.
