Labor Induction in Obese Pregnancies at Term: Risk Factors and Pregnancy Outcomes.
Article in Journal of pregnancy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe objectives of this study are to identify risk factors associated with failed labor induction in obese pregnancies at term and evaluate related maternal and neonatal outcomes.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included obese pregnant women (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsA total of 159 women were included, comprising 53 failed and 106 successful inductions. Failed induction was significantly associated with primiparity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.10; 95% CI, 1.46-6.58), Bishop score < 3 (aOR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.14-3.55), and higher maternal weight gain during pregnancy (aOR per kg increase, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.84-0.95). Maternal weight gain demonstrated a moderate effect size (standardized mean difference, 0.62). Compared with successful induction, failed induction was associated with higher rates of severe preeclampsia (18.9% vs. 1.9%), cesarean delivery (100% vs. 5.7%), longer hospitalization, and lower 1-min Apgar scores. No significant differences were observed in 5-min Apgar scores, fetal growth restriction, congenital anomalies, or NICU admission.
conclusionsIn obese pregnancies at term, primiparity, unfavorable cervical status, and excessive gestational weight gain are independently associated with failed labor induction. These findings highlight the importance of optimized patient selection, cervical assessment, and anticipatory counseling to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
