Trial report in BMC psychology, 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.

Abstract
backgroundAttitude Towards Fertility and Childbearing (ATFC) is one of the main determinants of fertility behavior. Implementing counseling and training programs to improve women's attitudes can promote empowerment and childbearing. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on the attitude and intention for childbearing in healthcare provider women.
methodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted among female healthcare providers in Fereidoonshahr. A total of 64 women were selected through convenience sampling and assigned to either the intervention group (n = 32) or the control group (n = 32). The intervention group participated in five motivational interview sessions. Both groups completed the Miller's Attitude Towards Childbearing Questionnaire and Childbearing Intent Questionnaire at three time points: baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one month later. The data were analyzed using SPSS16 with Chi-square tests, repeated measures, and independent t-tests.
resultsThe scores of attitudes towards childbearing (P < 0.01) and childbearing intentions (P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group immediately and one-month after the intervention. In addition, the frequency of childbearing intentions increased in the intervention group.
conclusionsThe use of the motivational interviewing method in women providing health care services is associated with an improvement in attitude toward and intention for childbearing. Hence, it is recommended that this cost-effective method be used for childbearing counseling by health service providers.
