Factors influencing childbirth self-efficacy and vaginal delivery rates in Chongqing: An observational study.
Observational study in Medicine, 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
This study aims to investigate the current status of childbirth self-efficacy among pregnant women in Chongqing Municipality, analyze the factors affecting childbirth self-efficacy, and provide relevant measures and evidence to improve childbirth self-efficacy and increase the rate of natural vaginal deliveries among pregnant women. This observational study employed a questionnaire survey method, involving 1142 pregnant women who underwent prenatal examinations at 6 hospitals in Chongqing in February 2023. Participants accessed the "Wen-Juan-Xing" app by scanning a QR code to fill out the questionnaire. Of the 1142 questionnaires distributed, 1086 were returned as valid, yielding a valid rate of 95.10%. The mean score on the Chinese Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory was 241.86 ± 60.25, while the mean score on the Perceived Social Support Scale among pregnant women was 67.05 ± 11.84. Planning for vaginal delivery and engaging in recommended prenatal exercises were identified as positive influencing factors for childbirth self-efficacy. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between childbirth self-efficacy and social support among pregnant women (P < .05). Engaging in recommending prenatal exercise and increasing social support among pregnant women can enhance their childbirth self-efficacy and promote a higher rate of natural vaginal childbirth.
