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

objectiveTo develop a web-based risk assessment system to predict cesarean section (CS) due to dystocia at admission in nulliparous term singleton vertex pregnancies, tailored for Korean women.

methodsThis case-control study analyzed the data of 126 women with CS due to dystocia and 490 women who had vaginal deliveries. Eight predictors-gestational age, maternal age, maternal height, pre-gestational body mass index, birth weight, fetal sex, cervical dilatation at admission, and maternal-fetal ratio-were identified using multivariate logistic regression. The system integrated both logistic regression and risk-scoring models simultaneously to provide individualized risk probabilities and categorical risk levels.

resultsThe model demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.86. Risk stratification classified the patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, corresponding to CS rates of 1.6, 47.6, and 50.8%, respectively (p<0.001).

conclusionThis dual-output, user-friendly, and admission-based web system enhances interpretability and supports personalized counseling and evidence-based decision-making. Specifically designed for Korean women, it enables the early identification of high-risk cases and may help reduce unnecessary operative interventions. Therefore, further multicenter studies are warranted.
