Awareness among Pregnant Women about Epidural Analgesia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Anesthesiology research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Epidural analgesia (EPA) is an effective anesthetic technique to overcome pain during labor. This study aimed to evaluate the current awareness of EPA among pregnant women. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire to measure awareness about EPA among pregnant women visiting the obstetrics and gynaecology clinic in King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah. Following the results, a group of women was selected and educated by trained medical students. Results: This study comprised 105 women. We found that 25 (23.8%) respondents revealed a complete lack of knowledge regarding EPA, 63 (60%) showed minimal awareness, and 17 (16.2%) were aware of EPA from various sources. The gravidity and history of EPA administration were significantly associated with knowledge. Multigravida women and those who had received EPA showed higher level of knowledge ( Conclusion: This study revealed a lack of awareness about EPA among pregnant women. Educational programs were effective as many participants chose EPA following the educational session as a form of pain relief during labor. We recommend the implementation of routine education on EPA in vaginal delivery during antenatal visits for all pregnant women.
