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

Background: Cervical cerclage represents the most controversial surgical procedure in the obstetric field, as it is still not accepted by many obstetricians around the world as an effective maneuver, while being considered by others as a fundamental treatment of women with a history of preterm birth, shortened cervix on ultrasound, and a history of cervical incompetence. Objectives: To assess the success rate and investigate the impacts of cervical cerclage on pregnancy outcomes. Subjects and Methods: It was a retrospective cohort study through the review of medical records of singleton women who underwent cervical cerclage at Al-Hada Armed Forces Hospital, Taif, throughout 2020-2024. Successful cervical cerclage was defined as a procedure accompanied by the delivery of live infants. Results: This study included 125 patients. The age of more than half of them (56.8%) ranged between 30 and 39 years. The majority of women (96.7%) had elective cervical cerclage, with a success rate of 89.2%. Younger maternal age ( Conclusion: High success rate of cervical cerclage has been reported, with few maternal complications. However, high neonatal complications were reported.
