Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: COVID-19 pandemic could bring great impact upon the psychological statuses of post-partum women, but no clear evidence was provided yet as to COVID-19 would also affect their pain profile during post-partum period. We determined if pain and psychological vulnerabilities, obstetric factors, and labor analgesia were associated with sub-acute pain after childbirth (SAPC; ongoing pain related to delivery at post-partum 4 weeks or more) during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We included women having a singleton pregnancy of ≥36 gestational weeks. The recruited women were given pre-delivery questionnaires to measure their pain and psychological vulnerabilities. At post-partum 6-10 weeks, an online survey was conducted to collect data on post-partum pain information. Results: Of the 880 recruited women, 816 completed the post-partum pain survey, with 99 (12.1%) having developed SAPC. Giving birth during COVID-19 pandemic (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.64, 95%CI 1.04 to 2.57), greater pre-delivery central sensitization (aOR 1.02, 95%CI 1.00 to 1.04), greater number of pain relief administered (aOR 1.49, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.89), having had artificial rupture of membrane and oxytocic during labor onset (aOR 3.00, 95%CI 1.66 to 5.40), greater volume of blood loss during delivery (every 100 ml; aOR 1.27, 95%CI 1.11 to 1.44), having had third-degree tear during delivery (aOR 4.40, 95%CI 1.33 to 14.51), and greater infant height (aOR 1.14, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.30) were independently associated with greater risk of SAPC. Having greater general health score was protective against the risk of SAPC (aOR 0.99, 95% CI 0.97 to 0.999) (Area under the curve (AUC) = 0.74). Conclusions: The generated multivariable association model may help us better understand the shift in pain and psychological aspects of women during COVID-19 pandemic.
