Fear of childbirth from the perspective of midwives working in hospitals in Norway: A qualitative study.
Article in Nursing open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimTo illuminate the perceptions of hospital-based midwives who support women suffering from moderate to severe fear of childbirth during an expected vaginal birth.
designA qualitative descriptive and explorative study.
methodsFocus group interviews were conducted with 18 midwives representing four different hospitals in Norway.
resultsEncountering fear of childbirth evoked the desire to protect and help, although the ability to provide optimal support was dependent on several circumstances, several of which were beyond the midwives̕ control. The main theme "Midwives finding their own strength when encountering the vulnerability of women with fear of childbirth" consisted of two themes: "Being present" and "Being alone." The midwives described being present as a prerequisite for continuity of care and affirmation. The emphasis on continuity of care could give rise to a sense of loneliness and guilt during and after demanding situations in the birthing room.
