Regression model of fear of childbirth in pregnant women.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe concept of fear of childbirth includes various types of anxiety and fears related to pregnancy and delivery. This fear can have a significant impact on women's health. Therefore, a study was conducted to analyze the regression model of fear of childbirth among pregnant women.
methodsThis pilot cross-sectional study was conducted from August to November 2023 with 152 pregnant women in Bojnurd, Iran, using a multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected from tools including a personal and obstetric information form, a childbirth attitude questionnaire, social support assessments, and a childbirth self-efficacy scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24, utilizing descriptive statistics, t-tests, and multiple linear regression.
resultsThe results of multiple linear regression indicate that the variables of age (B = 0.257), women's education(B = 2.54), spouse's education (B = 3.87), and preferred delivery(B = 7.097) can significantly predict the variance in fear of childbirth.
conclusionThe results of this study can help healthcare providers identify and screen women at risk of experiencing fear of childbirth. By doing so, they can take proactive measures to reduce this fear and its negative effects, thereby easing the delivery process. This can be achieved through counseling sessions and by improving the quality of prenatal care for at-risk women.
