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: Delivery pain is the most unbearable pain and can be relieved with intrathecal opioids. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intrathecal sufentanil for painless delivery on labor progress and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women. Methods: This was a single-arm observational cohort study on 1055 pregnant women candidates for vaginal delivery with spinal analgesia referred to the Akbarabadi Hospital. First, 0.1 µg/kg of intrathecal sufentanil was used, and maternal blood pressure and maternal and fetal heart rates were recorded after analgesia. During delivery, the mothers were monitored for nausea, pruritus, motor block, apnea, urinary retention, or the possibility of an emergency cesarean section. The duration of the analgesia, the duration of the second stages of labor, and the mother's pain scores were recorded based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores and arterial blood gas (ABG) of the umbilical cord were also recorded. Results: The most common station was -3 for 723 women, followed by -2 for 229 women. Fifty-two women underwent cesarean section, and fetal distress was the most common reason for cesarean section (57.7%). The mean time for initiating analgesia was 5.93 ± 2.87 minutes, and the mean visual analog scale was 1.08 ± 0.16. The mean Apgar was 9.0 ± 0.47; the mean weight at birth was 2917.39 ± 449.90 gr; PH was 7.31 ± 2.03; HCO Conclusions: Intrathecal sufentanil is safe and efficient in painless delivery, resulting in normal Apgar and normal PH with no specific side-effect.
