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
introductionMigration is a worldwide phenomenon leading to challenges for the health care system. There is conflicting evidence on the effect of migration on satisfaction with obstetric care. Our hypothesis was that satisfaction with obstetric care was lower in immigrant women or women with self-defined (sd) refugee status than in non-immigrant women.
methodIn the Pregnancy and Obstetric Care for Refugees (PROREF)-study, funded by the Germany Research Council (DFG), between June 2020 and April 2022 in three hospitals of tertiary care in Berlin women were interviewed 1-3 days after giving birth with the Migrant Friendly Maternity Care Questionnaire (MFMCQ). The interview data was linked to the routine perinatal data of the hospital charts. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify factors influencing satisfaction with obstetric care.
resultsA total of 3420 women could be included in the study, with an overall response rate of 77.5%. Satisfaction measured generally high with over 80% of women being satisfied with obstetric care at all three time points: during pregnancy, during labor and birth and after giving birth. We identified two factors associated with an increased chance of being satisfied with obstetric care: sd refugee status (OR 2.57, 95% Cl 1.48-4.44, p-value 0.0008) and being multipara (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.18-1.67, p-value 0.000).
conclusionEfforts on improving birth experience should focus on primipara. The reasons for non-immigrant women being less satisfied with care than women with sd refugee status are not fully understood.
