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

Objective: This work sought to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effect of the nursing intervention "Knowledge and self-care behaviors of pregnant women in the face of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy - EducaTHE". Methods: This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial. Sixty pregnant women who were enrolled in the antenatal care program of a health institution participated. They were selected via simple random sampling and assigned to the experimental group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). The intervention consisted of four educational sessions once a week, while the control group received usual antenatal care. Recruitment, follow-up, and dropout rates were assessed, as well as participant satisfaction. Both groups completed the "Knowledge and Self-Care Behaviors - CoNOCiTHE" and "Determinants of Behavior" scales before and four weeks after the intervention to assess impact. Results: The recruitment rate was 75.94%, 90% at follow-up and 10% dropouts. Overall satisfaction was 4.82 out of 5. The effect of the intervention showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge and behaviors in the experimental group compared to the control group (77 vs. 69; p< 0.001) and in the determinants of behavior (159 vs. 154; p=0.066), and a large effect size (d-Cliff = 0.7517). These changes were not significant in the control group (p≥0.05). Conclusion: This study shows the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in the maternal population, as well as the potential ef-fect of improving knowledge and self-care behaviors in the face of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Therefore, it is rec-ommended to use these types of educational interventions in maternal and perinatal nursing care.
