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.

Abstract

backgroundDue to the deterioration in comfort experienced after cesarean section, mothers go through troubled hours, have problems with breastfeeding, and cannot even meet their own and their baby's needs. This study was conducted to determine the effect of neuro-linguistic programming on mothers' comfort levels following cesarean section in the postpartum period.

methodsThis study was performed from 1 January to 1 September 2023 as a prospective randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial with 100 participants (50 experimental, 50 control). The research data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Postpartum Comfort Scale. The dependent samples t test and independent samples t test were used in the analysis of research data as well as numbers, percentages, and means. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate the effect of the NLP more accurately by controlling the pre-test scores.

resultsThere were statistically significant differences between the mean pretest and posttest postpartum comfort scale scores, physical comfort scores, psycho-spiritual comfort scores, and sociocultural comfort scores of mothers in the intervention group. In this regard, mothers in the intervention group had higher mean postpartum comfort scale scores, physical comfort scores, psycho-spiritual comfort scores, and sociocultural comfort scores in the posttest phase than in the pretest phase.

conclusionsThis study revealed that neuro-linguistic programming enhanced the postpartum comfort levels of mothers who underwent cesarean delivery. In this context, it is recommended that nurses and midwives enhance participants' comfort through the use of neuro-linguistic programming techniques in care processes.
