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
backgroundRespectful Maternal Care (RMC) is a crucial strategy for improving the quality of maternity care and reducing mortality and morbidity among mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an RMC educational intervention on reducing mistreatment during maternal care.
methodsA quasi-experimental study was conducted in two intervention hospitals and two control hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Initially, the provision of RMC in all four hospitals was assessed through an RMC questionnaire completed by newly delivered mothers (n = 357) in a cross-sectional study. Subsequently, an educational intervention was designed and implemented from September to November 2020 exclusively in the two intervention hospitals, targeting midwives working in the delivery department. Approximately four months post-intervention, in June 2021, the status of RMC was evaluated in all hospitals through a cross-sectional survey of 383 newly delivered women. The differences in RMC scores between pre- and post-intervention between the two groups of hospitals were assessed. The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model was used to analyze the effectiveness of the educational intervention in practicing RMC while controlling for background variables.
resultsMothers who received delivery services at certain hospitals, had lower levels of education, or were younger were more likely to experience disrespectful maternal care during labor and delivery. During the baseline phase, the intervention and control hospitals exhibited similar rates of mistreatment, with scores of 11.3 and 11.4, respectively. However, four months after implementing the intervention, the incidence of mistreatment in the control hospitals increased by approximately 7 points, while the score in the intervention hospitals decreased by around 10 points. Consequently, the difference between the intervention and control hospitals exceeded 17 points (p < 0.001), which was statistically significant.
conclusionsThe RMC educational intervention significantly reduced mistreatment during childbirth. To fully realize its potential, this intervention should be implemented alongside other strategies by all stakeholders, including providing specialized personnel, motivating staff, and educating mothers about their rights.
