Fathers' Educational Needs Assessment in Relation to Their Participation in Perinatal Care: A Systematic Review.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. 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
Even though they are crucial for a positive pregnancy experience, many fathers may not be aware of the significance of their role in perinatal care. As it is important to identify the needs of the target population in the initial phases of a health plan in order to ensure success, the current systematic review is the first one to address the reported needs for men's antenatal education.
methodsAll studies written in English and published between 1997 and 2021 relevant to the theme were included in the review. The electronic databases of various mainstream journals were used to evaluate 87 studies.
resultsIn total, the validity of 17 studies was determined based on their compliance with the inclusion criteria. According to the review, men's participation in antenatal education can significantly influence pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, couple's relationship, and overall family functioning.
conclusionProviding face-to-face antenatal education to men by doctors or midwives is emphasized as an important component of perinatal care preparation because it leads to positive outcomes.
