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 examine maternal and neonatal outcomes in women aged 35 years and older compared with those under 35 years following planned vaginal breech deliveries.
methodsThis study encompassed all vaginally intended breech deliveries at the Department of Obstetrics and Perinatal Medicine at Goethe University Hospital in Frankfurt from January 2004 to December 2023 (Frankfurt Breech at Term Cohort). Neonatal and maternal outcomes were compared by dividing the women into two groups and analyzing differences between groups using multivariate nominal regression adjusted for parity.
resultsNo difference in perinatal morbidity (measured with a modified PREMODA score) was observed for women with advanced age (35 years and older) (odds ratio [OR] 1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.74-3.02, P = 0.257) in vaginally intended deliveries. We found a significant association with advanced maternal age and cesarean section (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.21-1.86, P < 0.001). Analysis of vaginally completed deliveries showed higher odds of postpartum hemorrhage (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.19-5.25, P = 0.015). [Correction added on 20 December 2025 after first online publication: The preceding paragraph was corrected.]
conclusionMaternal age of 35 years or older is not linked to higher perinatal morbidity following vaginally attempted breech delivery. Nonetheless, a detailed consultation before delivery remains essential, particularly when pre-existing health conditions are present.
