Effect of supported sitting position during second stage of labor on its outcome in primigravidae: A quasi-experimental study.

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: The childbirth position has a significant influence on labor, maternal comfort, and neonatal outcome. In sitting position, there is a faster fetal descent with the effect of gravity. The information on this subject is relatively scant. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of a supported sitting position during second stage of labor on its outcome in primigravidae. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a post-test only control group design was used. 60 primigravidae were selected using total enumerative sampling. The labor outcome was assessed by self-structured maternal neonatal outcome checklist and socio-demographic proforma. Results: Statistically significant difference was observed on the mean duration of second stage of labor among primigravidae in control and experimental group (t = 5.87, Conclusions: A supported sitting position during labor was found to be effective in reducing duration of the second stage of labor. This can be used as a nursing intervention while providing care during labor especially at primary healthcare centers that can help in reducing the duration of second stage of labor.
