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 postpartum period is critical for women and newborns. Many complications, such as deaths, are preventable by utilizing appropriate postpartum care. We aimed to assess healthcare professionals' adherence to the World Health Organization's (WHO) immediate postpartum care guidelines, investigating factors influencing their adoption at Jordanian hospitals. Materials and Methods: A methodological study design, developing, and testing the psychometric properties of the Immediate Postpartum Care Adherence Questionnaire (IPCAQ) was created based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, extensive literature review, and the WHO guidelines following a manual construct questionnaire, and using a deductive method. The IPCAQ was developed using four steps: domain identification, scale construction, judgmental evidence, and psychometric evaluation. Results: The final draft of IPCAQ consisted of four domains and 63 items deductively formulated from the theoretical constructs. The domains are attitudes, behavioral intention, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. They were subsumed by four subthemes, general caring assessment, counseling, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The IPCA showed high content (0.94) and face validity indices (0.97), moderate content scale universal agreement (0.77), and excellent face agreement (0.81) for the 63 items. IPCAQ is a reliable instrument that measures adherence to immediate postpartum care guidelines. Conclusions: IPCAQ is reliable and valid in the current sample. The IPCAQ can be used to assess healthcare professionals' adherence to immediate postpartum care guidelines, identify factors influencing the adoption of standardized care to overcome barriers to adherence, and facilitate high-quality care.
