The Effect of Maternal Oxytocin Induction during Birth on Early Neonatal Pain and Stress: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in Biological research for nursing, 2025. 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
objectiveOxytocin induction is a commonly used intervention during childbirth worldwide. This study aimed to compare the pain and stress levels of newborns born to mothers who administered synthetic oxytocin at birth with those who did not.
methodsThis quasi-experimental study included 164 participants and their newborns who were delivered vaginally in a public hospital. The data were collected using an Information Form, a Neonatal Follow-Up Form, and the Assessment of Neonatal Pain and Stress Scale (ALPS-Neo).
resultsIn the study, there were no differences between the two groups in terms of the participants' and newborns' demographic characteristics (
conclusionAlthough the data presented here are observational, the findings indicate that infants born to participants who underwent oxytocin induction exhibit more intense pain and stress responses. The pain-stress scores of newborns born to participants who underwent oxytocin induction were higher than those of newborns whose mothers did not receive oxytocin induction.
