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

backgroundChildbirth experience is unique to every woman. Negative experience is detrimental to both mother and child. This study was undertaken to understand the positive and negative experience and felt need of women undergoing labor and the factors affecting them. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional descriptive quantitative study was conducted among women who delivered in JIPMER and consented to participate through a questionnaire that captured four areas of childbirth experience. The study was carried out before the LaQshya guidelines were implemented.

resultsThree hundred and seventy women completed the study. The mean age of women in this study was 24.5 years and 60% were primipara. Five women (1.3%) experienced physical abuse. Another 47 (12.7%) experienced disrespect in the form of scolding/insult/discrimination or nonconsented care. Three-fourths of the women wanted a relative (majority preferred their mother) with them, and 54% wanted a prayer hall in the labor room. On univariate analysis, no significant determinant was found for negative experience constituting disrespect and abuse. Complete pain relief as a need was found to be significantly higher (X2 = 11.0783,

conclusionsIn our hospital 12.7% women undergoing labor experienced disrespectful behavior and 1.3% experienced physical abuse. Need for prayer hall, complete pain relief and presence of relative was felt by more than half of the participants. We did not find any specific factor influencing the negative experience.
