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
introductionHealthcare professionals play a crucial role in the entire childbirth process. In this study, we studied healthcare workers' response, satisfaction, and demand to use of Maathru Samaan Pants by pregnant women during normal labour. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional, mixed-method study was carried in the year of 2023-2024. The study was carried out in four different regions of India. The health care professionals involved in normal delivery where pregnant women used Maathru Samman Pants, were enrolled in the study total of 20 doctors and 39 nurses were studied using a quantitative questionnaire. For the qualitative component, a total of 14 doctors and 16 nurses' in-depth interviews were conducted. Six FDGs with 29 supporting staff was conducted.
resultsOf the total of 59 healthcare professionals majority of respondents were female, 51 (86.4), and the age range was evenly distributed, with 22(37.3), 21-30 years, 20(33.9), 31-40 years, and 15 (25.4) over 40 years. The majority, 49(83.1), felt that respectful maternity care was extremely important. Most health care staff agreed or strongly agreed that the MSP helped cover their body 58(98.3). A majority found the MSP saved time by preventing dressing/undressing hassle 53(90), and helped with movement before delivery 48 (81.4). A majority, 57 (96.61), agree that the introduction of MSP is a beneficial step towards respectful maternity care. Privacy in both examination and labour rooms is rated highly, with 100% satisfaction across all regions. Most staff support continuing MSP use, 56 (94.91). Some hospitals require additional laundry services or equipment 10 (16.95) or manpower for washing 5 (8.45). Key Themes identified during in-depth interviews and FDGs were comfort, design, acceptability, demand, past experiences, challenges, advantages, funds, reuse, and additional requirements for implementing MSP.
conclusionThe successful integration of MSPs into healthcare settings can drive innovation and improvements, highlighting India's leadership in advancing maternal health initiatives.
