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
Introduction: Trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC) should be preferred over Elective Repeat Caesarean Deliveries (ERCD) if not contraindicated. For this, proper counselling of patient for TOLAC is needed beginning from antenatal period. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the preference of women for the mode of delivery after the first CD using RCOG checklist during antenatal period. Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Patna, Bihar, India for a period of 18 months. A total of 157 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups. Group 1: (117 cases) All booked pregnant women counselled throughout the antenatal period using RCOG checklist. Group 2: All unbooked pregnant women not counselled for TOLAC during antenatal period. Baseline demographic and obstetrical details, preferred mode of delivery, reason for the preferred mode of delivery, any change in preference, reason for change in preference, actual mode of delivery, the success rate of VBAC, and maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded in both groups and data were statistically analyzed. Results: Increased acceptance for TOLAC was seen among participants of both groups, but difference was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: Antenatal counselling using RCOG checklist increases preference for TOLAC, but the number of women who actually underwent TOLAC was significantly less. Various reasons behind this need to be addressed and analyze, and plan should be made to increase TOLAC and successful VBAC rate.
