Comparative study of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, the aromatherapy of Lavandula and physiologic delivery without medication on the neonatal and maternal outcome of patients.

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
objectivesThe complications of normal vaginal delivery (NVD) are one of the issues that researchers have been discussing today and various ways to reduce these outcomes have been presented. In this study, we aimed to compare the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), the aromatherapy of Lavandula and physiologic delivery without medication on NVD outcomes.
methodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted on 150 women that were candidates of NVD. The information related had been registered in the Iranian clinical trial registration system with the code IRCT20210501051151N1 (https://www.irct.ir/trial/56014). Patients were divided into three groups of Lavandula, TENS, and physiologic delivery. Postpartum pain, maternal and neonatal outcomes, and labor duration were compared in groups.
resultsLabor pain was significantly less in TENS and Lavandula than in the physiologic group, respectively (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of labor duration and maternal and fetal outcomes.
conclusionThe use of TENS and Lavandula aromatherapy are useful methods for reducing pain in patients undergoing NVD, but using TENS method is better than Lavandula method, and on the other hand, there are no differences between groups as maternal and neonatal complications.
