1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To explore the effects of massages administered by spouses on labor pain and delivery duration among primiparous women. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included women who were selected to give birth at the researchers' hospital and were assigned to either to an experimental or control group based on their willingness to participate. The experimental group received the massage during the latent and active phases of labor. Pain levels during labor were measured using the Visual Analog Scale. Results: A total of 100 women, with 50 in each group, were included in the analysis. During both the latent and active phases of labor, the experimental group experienced greater reductions in pain levels compared with the control group ( Conclusion: The massage administered by spouses during labor significantly reduced labor pain and shorten the duration of the first stage of labor.
