Persian version of the support and control in birth questionnaire among Iranian women.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLack of perceived support and control during labor and childbirth is known as an important predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth. However, there is no standard scale to measure perceived support and control for Iranian women. This study determined the validity and reliability of the support and control in birth questionnaire for Iranian women. MATERIALS AND
methodsSupport and control in the birth questionnaire were translated into Persian by the forward and backward translation method in 2019. Among a total of 102 healthcare centers in Tabriz, 50 urban and 10 rural centers were selected randomly. Then, 660 women with vaginal childbirth during the postpartum period were extracted by each center and selected randomly. The validity of the Persian version was evaluated in terms of face, content, and construct validity. Internal consistency and reliability were assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient, respectively. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used for evaluating the construct validity of the tool.
resultsCronbach's alpha coefficient (0.95) and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.99) were acceptable. In an exploratory analysis, three factors were extracted and these three factors explained 63.1% of the total variance. Items 14 and 17 were removed from the Persian version due to low factor loading and impact factor values. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three factors extracted in the exploratory analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis showed suitable indexes of fitness for 31 items.
conclusionPersian version of the support and control in the birth questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for the Iranian women population.
