Introduction of a Third Trimester Pregnancy Patient Education Guide and Effects on Patient Satisfaction With Counseling: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
AIMS AND
objectivesTo assess whether a workflow change introducing a third trimester pregnancy education guide would be associated with increased patient satisfaction regarding prenatal counseling.
methodsWe surveyed pregnant patients between 34w0d-41w6d during a single prenatal appointment at one of two hospital-associated offices. We enrolled 49 'pre-guide' patients March-May 2023 and 50 'post-guide' patients October-December 2023, after a 4-month washout period. We performed t-tests and chi-squared analyses to compare the groups.
resultsThe cohorts had similar sociodemographic characteristics aside from lower education level in the post-guide cohort (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference between the groups and their reported satisfaction with third trimester and delivery counseling (p = 0.92). Those who received the guide were more likely to feel they were more adequately counseled regarding 'pain management in childbirth' (p = 0.01), but there were no other statistically significant differences between the groups. Of those who received the guide, 75% felt that it reduced their anxiety and stress about the unknown and 100% would recommend it to others.
conclusionsWe did not find that introduction of an informational guide about the third trimester of pregnancy significantly affected their satisfaction with their third trimester and delivery counseling or patient perception of the adequacy of counseling on specific pregnancy topics. All patients who received the guide noted they would recommend it to others.
