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
introductionMidwives' perceptions of Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) play an important role in promoting quality of care. This study aimed to explore the awareness and performance of Iranian midwives of RMC during childbirth.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out from November to December 2020 to evaluate 130 midwives' awareness and performance of RMC during childbirth at four public hospitals in Urmia province, Iran. Participants were midwives who were working in the labor unit and had at least one year of work experience. The Midwives' Knowledge and Practice Scale on Respectful Maternity Care was used to assess midwives' awareness and performance. The quality assessment of questionnaires was based on the mean for each item. A multivariate linear regression approach was developed to evaluate the relationship between midwives' age, academic education level plus occupational information and their awareness and performance of RMC.
resultsThis study revealed that Iranian midwives had good awareness but fair performance of RMC. The mean scores of the overall awareness and performance of RMC were 36.07±10.13 and 75.47±35.4, respectively. Midwives' performance on two domains was fair including 'Giving emotional support' and 'Providing safe care'. The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed a significant negative relationship between job satisfaction and midwives' performance on RMC. Also work experience plus a Master's degree in midwifery had positive significant effects on midwives' awareness along with performance on RMC (p<0.05).
conclusionsPromoting respectful maternity care requires essential interpersonal and communication skills and supportive attitudes from midwives.
