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
This article considers emerging human rights standards relevant to obstetric violence and abuse during childbirth in healthcare facilities. It examines the evolution of "safe motherhood" from a focus on physical safety to the recognition of respectful and dignified care as a fundamental right. The analysis traces key developments from WHO, UN Special Rapporteurs, and landmark decisions from human rights bodies like the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. These decisions define obstetric violence as a form of gender-based discrimination, clarifying state obligations to prevent and address it through legislative reforms, training, effective complaint mechanisms, and remedies for victims. The present article emphasizes free and informed consent, addressing structural inequalities, and promoting respectful maternity care to protect women's reproductive rights.
