Effect of Spleen 6 Point Acupressure on Severity of Labor Pain, Duration of Labor, and Women's Satisfaction.

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
Introduction: Severe and unmanageable labor pain can adversely affect maternal and neonatal outcomes. Among non-pharmacological methods, acupressure is increasingly recognized for its intrapartum benefits; however, further supportive evidence is needed. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of spleen 6 point (SP6) acupressure on the severity of labor pain, duration of labor, and women's satisfaction. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The intervention was applied to 96 parturient women in a governmental hospital, following specific inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire, a visual analogue pain scale, an observational checklist for labor progress, and a satisfaction assessment tool. Results: The intensity of labor pain decreased following the application of SP6 acupressure across different stages of cervical dilation. Most participants experienced a shorter duration of both the active phase and second stage of labor compared to standardized references. Additionally, the majority of women reported satisfaction with the intervention. Conclusion: SP6 acupressure could appear to be an effective non-pharmacological method for reducing the labor pain and could short the labor duration. It was also associated with a high level of maternal satisfaction.
