The Effect of Sleep Enhancement Educational Program on Maternal Sleep Quality for Nulliparous Pregnant Women: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04262349 (The Effect of the Training Program on Sleep Quality), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundPregnancy is a critical period during which women usually do not prefer taking medication. Therefore, non-pharmacological and safe methods are needed to improve sleep quality during pregnancy. This study aims to identify whether an educational program on sleep enhancement for pregnant women has any effect on maternal sleep quality.
methodThis was a randomized-controlled trial. Pregnant women (N = 181) were divided into two groups, an intervention group (n = 90) and a control group (n = 91). A two-session educational program for the enhancement of sleep quality was provided to the intervention group, whereas solely the routine practices of the hospital were put in place for the control group.
resultsThe intervention group had a significantly lower mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, and accordingly, better sleep quality than the control group. Participation in the education program was significantly related to sleep quality and accounted for 6% of the total variance in sleep quality (R
conclusionIt was concluded that the educational program on sleep enhancement implemented to improve the sleep quality of pregnant women enhanced maternal sleep quality.
