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 experience of pregnancy loss inflicts lasting psychological trauma on women, significantly impacting their subsequent pregnancies. This study aimed to understand the feelings and thoughts of pregnant women with a history of pregnancy loss.

methodsBetween February and May 2023, participants were purposively sampled from three tertiary hospitals and one community hospital in Guangdong Province, China. Two interviewers conducted semi-structured, one-on-one interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method.

resultsThematic saturation was achieved after 15 interviews, with three additional interviews confirming no new emergent themes, resulting a total of 18 participants. Four main themes emerged: (1) Resilient yet hyper-vigilant emotional experiences; (2) Supportive yet burdensome family dynamics; (3) Advanced yet impersonal healthcare services; and (4) Abundant yet complex information resources.

conclusionFor pregnant women with a history of pregnancy loss, their unique experiences are deeply intertwined with family interactions, clinical encounters, and information-seeking behaviors. Developing personalized care models is essential to provide comprehensive support for this population.
