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

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of listening to Surah Maryam during the first stage of labor on postpartum depression, traumatic childbirth perception, and post-traumatic stress. Women in the Surah Maryam group (SMG) listened to Surah Maryam during the first stage of labor. Following the intervention, both groups were assessed using scales measuring the perception of traumatic childbirth, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. Logistic regression analysis showed no statistically significant differences between the SMG and control group (CG) in terms of traumatic childbirth perception or postpartum depression following the intervention. However, listening to Surah Maryam was found to reduce post-traumatic stress in the SMG by 93% compared to the CG (OR = 0.070, 95% CI 0.017-0.286). Women should be allowed to perform spiritual practices according to their preferences during childbirth to ensure a positive childbirth experience and better mental health during the postpartum period.
