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
objectiveAlthough prediction models for cesarean delivery have been established for nulliparous women, few have been developed for multiparous women, particularly for predicting intrapartum cesarean delivery after the onset of active labor. This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for intrapartum cesarean delivery in this population and evaluate its clinical utility.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective case-control study at a single tertiary center (Suining Central Hospital, China) from January 2019 to June 2025. The study included 58 multiparous women who required cesarean delivery after active labor onset (cases) and 116 who had successful vaginal deliveries (controls). Candidate predictors included maternal age, prenatal body mass index, gravidity, parity, interdelivery interval, induction of labor, amniotic fluid characteristics, and fetal abdominal circumference. Predictors were identified through univariate analyses (Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables, chi-square tests for categorical variables) followed by multivariate logistic regression. Model performance was evaluated by assessing discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]), calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test), and internal validity (bootstrapping with 1000 replicates). A clinical nomogram was developed using R software (version 4.2.3) to facilitate practical application of the prediction model.
resultsThe final model incorporated five independent predictors: prenatal BMI, induction of labor, interdelivery interval, fetal abdominal circumference, and amniotic fluid characteristics. The model demonstrated good discrimination, with an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76-0.89). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration (p = 0.91), and bootstrap validation yielded a calibration slope of 0.92, indicating minimal overfitting.
conclusionsThis novel prediction model, using readily available intrapartum variables, shows promise for identifying multiparous women at high risk of intrapartum cesarean delivery after active labor onset, potentially aiding clinical decision-making. External validation is warranted before clinical implementation.
