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
backgroundThe present study aims to assess morbidities among babies born by elective or planned cesarean section (CS) and to compare the results with neonatal outcomes of normal vaginal delivery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective, hospital-based study was carried out at maternity teaching hospitals, Al-Khansia Hospital, Al Salam, and Mosul General Hospital in the city of Mosul. Women who had admitted to the hospitals for delivery were included in the study with verbal consent, and term newborns with a gestational age of more than 37 weeks were the main outcome variables of interest. The 205 deliveries at Mosul City's maternity hospitals that made up the research sample included 120 CS deliveries and 85 vaginal deliveries. Only after providing verbal consent were women who went to the hospital for childbirth included in the study; those born prematurely or whose mothers experienced health problems during pregnancy were excluded. The required information was gathered at the time of admission through interviews and chart reviews. All neonatal outcomes for infants admitted to the intensive care unit were documented, and follow-up was conducted from the patient's arrival at the hospital until their discharge. Data from the study were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 26. The study sample's demographics were displayed using descriptive statistics, and the potential differences in neonatal outcomes between CSs and standard delivery methods were assessed using a statistical test (Chi-X2).
resultsDuring the study period, 205 deliveries were performed at maternity teaching hospitals in Mosul city, 58.53% of them were performed through CS, and the rest (41.4%) of them were via normal vaginal delivery. There was a significant difference between the two groups (
conclusionThe study's conclusions showed that there was a considerable risk of poor neonatal outcomes following planned or elective CSs. Additionally, compared to babies delivered vaginally, babies born via CSs had a higher risk of respiratory distress and longer stays in the neonatal intensive care unit.
