A Cross-Sectional Survey of Labor Pain Control and Women's Satisfaction.

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
objective(1) To evaluate labor pain intensity before and after using non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions; (2) to assess women's satisfaction of labor pain management.
methodsA multicenter cross-sectional survey study was performed on 500 women who gave birth in different reference level hospitals (i.e., I, II, III). Pain intensity was assessed according the Numeric Rating Scale (range 0-10), whereas women's satisfaction was measured with a 5 point Likert scale.
resultsThe use of both non-pharmacological (median 6.7 (5; 8) vs. 4.5 (3.3; 5.5)) and pharmacological methods (median 8 (7; 9) vs. 5 (3; 6)) resulted in a significant reduction in pain (
conclusionsThe study findings suggest that women giving birth in hospitals of higher referentiality have better control of labor pain due to access to pharmacological methods. Epidural anesthesia remains the gold standard for relieving labor pain. The choice of a specific method is determined by the degree of hospital and associated with the pain referentiality.
