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
introductionAlthough cesarean section (CS) plays an important role in reducing the complications and mortality of childbirth, the increase in unnecessary CSs is an indicator of the improper functioning of the health system. This study aimed to measure the effect of an educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the intention and type of delivery of primiparous pregnant women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was conducted as a randomized controlled trial in Isfahan city, Iran. In total, 112 primiparous pregnant women participating in childbirth preparation classes were divided into two intervention and control groups by nonrandom sampling method. The intervention group received an educational intervention that included a combination of childbirth preparation classes based on TPB during the 16
resultsThe average score of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in the intervention group significantly increased after intervention (
conclusionReconstructing childbirth preparation classes based on TPB improved the intention and other predictive structures of TPB in the intervention group, but the final behavior of the two groups regarding the type of delivery was the same. It seems that the stressful conditions of delivery, along with the final opinion of the physicians, are effective in choosing the final type of delivery.
