1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The birth and delivery plan is the center of clinical communication between the pregnant woman and the midwife, which is in the scope of health care services and is designed and provided to specialists with the participation of the woman and her husband during pregnancy. This document reflects the preferences, expectations, and fears of pregnant women regarding the birth process. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the maternal and neonatal outcomes of the birth plan: a review study. In this review study, Persian databases Magiran, SID, and English databases Pubmed, Scopus, SID Elsevier, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar search engine using English keywords including Maternal outcome, neonatal outcome, birth schedule, delivery plan, birth plan, and their Persian equivalents were searched from 2000 to 2022. Numerous studies were selected and analyzed in a quantitative and qualitative manner that was related to the purpose of the present study in terms of content. Among 948 articles, 13 of the most relevant ones were selected and analyzed for this study. The results of the review of the studies showed that the birth plan has an effect on women's empowerment, satisfaction with childbirth, positive experience of childbirth, cesarean section rate, epidural use rate, episiotomy rate, Apgar, and umbilical cord pH of the newborn. The maternal and neonatal consequences of the birth plan prevail over its negative consequences, and the use of the birth plan can increase women's empowerment, satisfaction with childbirth, positive experience of childbirth, and reduce the rate of cesarean section and negative maternal-neonatal consequences.
