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: One way of dealing with pregnancy-related anxiety is through women's beliefs. This study aimed to assess the effect of spiritual self-care blended learning on anxiety in women with preterm labor. Methods: A non-blinded and parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted in Kashan, Iran, from April to November 2018. In this study, 70 pregnant women with preterm labor were randomized to intervention and control groups (35 each) by flipping a coin. For the intervention group, spiritual self-care training was delivered through two face-to-face sessions and three offline sessions. The control group received routine mental healthcare. The data were collected using socio-demographic information and the Persian Short Form of the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety (PRA) Questionnaires. Participants filled out the questionnaires at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and four weeks after it. Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, independent t-tests, and repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyze the data. SPSS v.22 was used, with a significance level of P<0.05. Results: At baseline, the mean PRA scores in the intervention and control groups were 52.25±29.23 and 49.68±21.66, respectively (P=0.67). There were significant differences immediately after the intervention (28.02±12.13 and 51.42±20.99 in the intervention and control groups, respectively) (P<0.001), and four weeks post-intervention (25.45±10.44 and 52.17±21.13 in the intervention and control groups, respectively) (P<0.001); PRA was lower in the intervention group. Conclusion: Our results revealed the positive effect of spiritual self-care intervention on anxiety in women with preterm labor, so this intervention could be integrated into prenatal care.
