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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine parenting knowledge's perceived level, sources, and predictors among urban Chinese postpartum women, including sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Methods: Survey data was collected from 498 postpartum women who just gave birth within one year in Shanghai, China. Participants completed the Perceived Parenting Knowledge Questionnaire, the Postpartum Social Support Questionnaire (PSSQ), and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and provided sociodemographic information. Descriptive analysis, independent samples Results: The results showed that Chinese urban new mothers perceived having a medium-high level of parenting knowledge for caring for infants, especially for baby vaccination and breastfeeding. Mothers with longer years of marriage, better education, whose baby was not the firstborn, having a healthy baby, and owning Shanghai household registration reported higher perceived parenting knowledge scores. APPs, books, and social media usage (eg, WeChat) have become the most addressed sources of obtaining parenting knowledge besides family members. Mothers' negative affect is negatively related to parenting knowledge. Relationship between spousal support and mothers' parenting knowledge is mediated by positive affect. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of education and spousal support in enhancing parenting knowledge among urban Chinese postpartum women. Targeted interventions should focus on improving emotional well-being and leveraging diverse information sources to support new mothers effectively.
