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

This study investigates the effectiveness of Benson's Relaxation Technique in reducing pain levels among post-cesarean mothers admitted to selected hospitals in Mehsana District. Using a quasi-experimental design, 60 primiparous post-cesarean mothers aged 21-35 were divided into experimental and control groups, with 30 participants in each group. The experimental group received Benson's Relaxation Technique, a structured meditation-based intervention, for 10 minutes twice daily over three days. Pain levels were assessed using the Modified Comfort Behaviour Pain Scale pre- and post-intervention. Results indicated a significant reduction in pain levels in the experimental group compared to the control group, with 76.66% of the experimental group reporting no pain post-intervention, while the majority of the control group continued to experience mild to moderate pain. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference in pain reduction between the groups (t = 20.97, p < 0.001).
