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

backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to daily life, leading to increased anxiety, stress, and depression, particularly among postpartum women.

methodsThis study is a quasi-experimental design aimed at determining the effect of supportive tele-education on postpartum care offered to women during the COVID-19 period, specifically focusing on the mothers' obsessive-compulsive behaviors, feelings of safety, and breastfeeding self-efficacy. In the study, independent t-tests and dependent t-tests were utilized. Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests were also applied.

resultsWhen comparing the scores of the Obsessive and Compulsive Behavior Scale for infant care, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p > 0.05). The breastfeeding self-efficacy scale scores were evaluated based on the participants' groups, and it was observed that while the scale scores remained the same in the experimental group after the second interview (35-42 days), the control group's scores significantly decreased (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe study concluded that alternatives for ensuring the accessibility of health services to the community under all conditions and circumstances have been demonstrated.
