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

introductionPregnancy is a critical period marked by vast changes, with a pivotal role in healthcare. The Mothers on Respect (MOR) index measures and ensures respect in maternal care, impacting health-seeking behaviors and postpartum outcomes vital for individual and healthcare system well-being. This study aims to validate the Greek version of the MOR index to enhance respectful maternity care and contribute to positive childbirth experiences.

methodsA retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical online survey collected data from Greek women with home childbirth experience. We utilized a self-administered questionnaire and the Greek version of the Mothers on Respect (MOR) index.

resultsThe MOR index, assessing knowledge and awareness, showed a median score of 78 points, with a significant association between higher scores and living in Attica or being a healthcare professional (p=0.027 and p=0.024, respectively). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the questionnaire had an acceptable fit, and reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's α exceeding 0.7 across all dimensions.

conclusionsThe Greek MOR index validation advances respectful maternity care, enhances maternal health in Greece, and contributes to regional efforts for positive childbirth experiences.
