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 pleasant experience of natural childbirth is a fundamental right of women that significantly impacts the health and well-being of both mothers and their families. This study aims to elucidate midwives' perceptions of enhancing the pleasant childbirth experience through men's active participation.

methodThis qualitative study was conducted using a qualitative content analysis approach. This study conducted in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 14 midwives and analyzed them using Granheim and Landman's conventional content analysis method.

resultsThe results obtained from the data analysis were categorized into an overarching theme: "Reviving Neglected Abilities for Enhancing pleasant Childbirth," which includes four Main Categories: "The Role of Men in pleasant Childbirth," The Importance of Men's Participation in Enhancing pleasant Childbirth," "Barriers to Men's Participation During Childbirth," and "Strategies for Increasing Men's Participation in Enhancing pleasant Childbirth," as well as several sub-Categories.

conclusionsThe study findings indicate that midwives view men's participation in childbirth positively, which can help service providers accept their presence. Promoting men's roles in this process benefits women and enhances family and community health. Therefore, focusing on male involvement requires international collaboration among health and social institutions to address barriers and create a supportive environment for pregnant women.
