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
Background: Childbirth experience is a key determinant of maternal psychological well-being, and WHO emphasize promoting positive birth experiences. The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is a widely used measure of women's perceptions of labor and delivery. An improved version of this instrument, the CEQ 2.0, has not yet been adapted or psychometrically validated for use in mainland China. This study aimed to validate a Mainland version of CEQ 2.0 (CEQ 2.0-M) among Chinese postpartum women. Methods: A three-stage cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted among 700 postpartum women recruited from a tertiary hospital in mainland China (350 for EFA, 350 for CFA). Item analysis and dimensional refinement were applied to revise the original 25-item Chinese CEQ 2.0 before factor analyses. Structural validity was evaluated using parallel analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed via Cronbach's Results: In Stage 1, item analysis and theoretical review led to the refinement of the original Chinese CEQ 2.0, resulting in a four-factor version with improved conceptual clarity. In Stage 2, exploratory factor analysis supported this four-factor structure, explaining 53.2% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis in Stage 3 indicated acceptable model fit ( Conclusions: The CEQ 2.0-M shows satisfactory psychometric properties and offers a valid, reliable instrument for assessing childbirth experiences among Chinese postpartum women. Its concise structure and established construct validity support its use in both clinical practice and research, particularly in developing countries seeking culturally appropriate tools for perinatal care evaluation.
