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
aimThis study aimed to assess the levels of maternal perception of control and support during birth and the factors influencing them in the postpartum period.
designA cross-sectional design was employed. The STROBE checklist was used.
methodsThe study was conducted between July 2021 and March 2022 with 400 mothers who were in their first 2 months postpartum and lived in Türkiye. Data were collected online using a Maternal Descriptive Information Form and the Support and Control in Birth (SCIB) Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, such as percentage, mean, standard deviation and multiple linear regression analysis, were employed for data evaluation.
resultsThe mean score on the total SCIB was 92.4 ± 13.01. Vaginal birth and caesarean section accounted for 47.3% and 52.7% of the study group, respectively, with only 35% being assisted by a midwife. Variables of age, education level, number of pregnancies, mode of birth and health professionals assisting birth showed no significant effect on the total SCIB score (p > 0.05). Maternal satisfaction with birth scores, satisfaction with health professionals involved birth and fulfilled expectations from health professionals were positively associated with high SCIB scores (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe level of SCIB in our study fell within a 'moderate' range, considering the lowest and highest scores on the scale. Notably, increased satisfaction with birth experience and healthcare professionals, positively influenced maternal perceptions of control and support during birth. In contrast, certain socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics did not demonstrate a significant impact. To enhance the sense of support and control during childbirth, it is crucial to identify and fulfil the expectations of mothers from midwives and birth supportive care to ultimately elevate maternal satisfaction in the childbirth experience. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: None.
