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
objectiveThis study aims to examine the relationship between pregnant women's perception of traumatic birth and their preference for the mode of delivery.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between April 12, 2023, and June 22, 2023, in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of a state hospital in Turkey. The study population consisted of pregnant women who applied to the clinic during the study period. The inclusion criteria were being 18 years or older, having a singleton pregnancy between the 20th and 40th gestational weeks, and having no high-risk pregnancy conditions. The exclusion criteria included pregnancy through assisted reproductive techniques and the presence of intellectual disabilities. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria were selected through a non-probability random sampling method. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the traumatic childbirth perception scale, and the belief scale for normal delivery.
resultsAmong the participants, 71.8% preferred cesarean section over vaginal delivery. A significant negative correlation was found between the perception of traumatic birth and the belief in and preference for vaginal delivery (r=-0.427, p<0.001). Pregnant women with a higher perception of traumatic birth were more likely to choose cesarean delivery.
conclusionThe findings suggest that a higher perception of traumatic birth is associated with a decreased preference for vaginal delivery. Addressing these concerns may help support informed decision-making regarding childbirth.
