The Effect of Listening to the Recitation of the Surah Al-Inshirah on Labor Pain, Anxiety and Comfort in Muslim Women: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Trial report in Journal of religion and health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This study aimed to identify whether listening to the recitation of the Surah Al-Inshirah (94th Chapter of the Holy Qur'an) during labor had any effect on women's pain, anxiety and comfort levels. Designed as a randomized controlled trial, the study was performed with the participation of 126 pregnant Muslim women. The study showed that listening to the recitation of the Surah Al-Inshirah during labor had positive effects on the women's pain, anxiety and comfort levels. In this respect, it is recommended that based on individuals' religious beliefs, spiritual elements such as surahs, prayers and hymns be integrated into the midwifery care offered during labor.
