Influence of a Virtual Exercise Program throughout Pregnancy during the COVID-19 Pandemic on Perineal Tears and Episiotomy Rates: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04563065 (Active Pregnancy, Prevention Against the Effects of COVID-19), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
The complications associated with COVID-19 confinement (impossibility of grouping, reduced mobility, distance between people, etc.) influence the lifestyle of pregnant women with important associated complications regarding pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, perineal traumas are the most common obstetric complications during childbirth. The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of a supervised virtual exercise program throughout pregnancy on perineal injury and episiotomy rates during childbirth. A randomized clinical trial design (NCT04563065) was used. Data were collected from 98 pregnant women without obstetric contraindications who attended their prenatal medical consultations. Women were randomly assigned to the intervention (IG,
