Effects of maternal positions in electronic fetal monitoring: a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05863156 (Evaluation of the Effects of Different Positions Given During Antenatal Electro-Fetal Monitoring on Maternal Comfort, Maternal Blood Pressure and Fetal Health), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundDuring electronic fetal monitoring, the positions provided to mothers by perinatal nurses and midwives are essential for ensuring maternal comfort, as well as maternal and fetal well-being. This study aimed to investigate the impact of various maternal positions during electronic fetal monitoring on maternal and fetal health.
methodsThis study was conducted in a randomized controlled trial design. The study included 240 pregnant women at 34-40 weeks of gestation. The data were collected via a descriptive form for pregnant women and a general comfort questionnaire.
resultsA statistically significant difference was found between cardiotocography monitoring positions in terms of cardiotocography duration, basal heart rate, and acceleration during cardiotocography (p < 0.05). The study indicated that the semi-Fowler position has a statistically significant effect on maternal comfort (t = 3.834, p < 0.05). It was also noted that the semi-Fowler position created a 0.911 rate of increase in general comfort.
conclusionsThe use of the semi sitting position as an alternative to the left lateral position in the clinic is worthy of recommendation, and in pregnant women with a high body mass index, the semi sitting position should be preferred during fetal monitoring. It is recommended that the semi-Fowler position be preferred for fetal monitoring in pregnant women with a high BMI, and further research should be conducted to make these positions standard in the clinic.
