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
BACKGROUND AND
aimPostpartum period is associated with significant changes in the quality of women's lives. These changes can affect the health of both the mother and child. Given the importance of the postpartum period and the factors influencing quality of life after childbirth especially the method of childbirth, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between quality of life after childbirth and the childbirth method in nulliparous women referred to healthcare centers in Sanandaj, Iran.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, ten healthcare centers in Sanandaj, Iran from 2014-to 2015 were chosen using a cluster random sampling method. The samples consisted of 410 nulliparous women. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was used for data collection in the third trimester of pregnancy. Those women with a score greater than 12 were excluded from this study. The quality of life in physical, psychological, social, environmental domains and the overall quality of life were measured and compared using the World Health Organization quality of life brief questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. We used descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and t-test for the analyses of outcomes.
resultsThe means of quality of life in the groups of vaginal and cesarean childbirth were 98.29±11.82 and 100.4±10.26, respectively, which had no statistically significant differences.
conclusionWomen with vaginal childbirth had the slightly higher quality of life scores than cesarean during 6 weeks after birth and later. Thus, providing more information to pregnant women to encourage them to use vaginal childbirth is suggested.
