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
objectiveThe study is aimed at determining the efficacy of spiritual content counselling on improving the sleep quality and insomnia severity of pregnant women.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was carried out on 40 pregnant women recruited at five health centres of Abhar, Iran, 2020. The eligible women were allocated into two intervention and control groups according to the randomized blocking method. Group counselling with spiritual content was carried out in eight sessions at 16 to 20 weeks of gestation. The control group only received routine care. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaires in three stages, before the intervention, at 28, and 36 weeks of gestation. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measure ANOVA test, chi-square, and independent
resultsIn the counselling group, the mean (SD) of a total score of sleep quality before the intervention was 9.45 (2.30) which decreased to 5.40 (1.56) in 36 weeks of gestational age, while in the control group was increased from 9.26 (2.15) to 11.47 (1.54). After the intervention based on the repeated measure ANOVA test, the mean total score of the insomnia severity, sleep quality, and its components decreased statistically in the second and third trimesters compared to the first trimester in the intervention group compared to the control group (
conclusionThe results showed that counselling with spiritual content could effectively ameliorate sleep quality and reduce insomnia severity in pregnant women. It seems that the approach is an acceptable basis to design intervention programs in this field that can be considered by midwives.
