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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesPregnant women who have no experience in the transition to motherhood may face various problems such as low self-evaluation, physically problems, low maternal attachment both in the prenatal and postpartum period.

methodsThis research was conducted as a randomized, controlled, single-blind pretest-post-test experimental study, was performed with primiparous women registered 73 pregnant meeting the inclusion criteria between December 2019 and December 2021. Pretest was applied to the experimental and control groups, Transition to Motherhood program based on Meleis' Transition Theory was applied to the experimental group; two post-tests were applied to the experimental and control groups group at the postpartum sixth week and fourth month.

resultsThe mean age of the experimental group was 26.91 ± 3.10, 45.7% of them had university or higher education level, 77.1% of them had a planned pregnancy, 88.6% of them had fear of birth. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of characteristic features between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the total mean scores of Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire and Prenatal Attachment Inventory applied as pretest of the pregnant women in the experimental and control groups (p > 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups; in terms of the Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale, Postpartum Physical Symptoms Severity, and the Maternal Attachment Inventory scores which were applied as the first post-test (postpartum sixth week), and the scores of the Maternal Attachment Inventory applied as the second posttest (postpartum fourth month) (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe Transition to Motherhood program had positive effects on postpartum self-assessment, postpartum physical symptom severity and maternal attachment of the primiparas. CLINICAL
