Knowledge and perception of labor rights violations among postpartum women in three Brazilian maternity hospitals: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe study explores the knowledge and perception of labor rights violations among the obstetric population in Brazil, highlighting the significant role of laws and policies in women’s reproductive health.
methodsA cross-sectional multicenter study in three Brazilian maternity facilities in June-July 2022. Postpartum women were included and responded to a questionnaire about their knowledge of labor rights; those who worked during pregnancy answered about their perception of violations of labor rights. Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors associated with level of knowledge and perception of violation of LR.
results652 postpartum women were enrolled and 293 who worked during pregnancy answered about rights violations; 8.1% women knew all their labor rights, and 40.8% did not know at least half of the 16 specified labor rights. Being adolescent (ORadj: 2.12 [1.22–3.69] 95% CI), living in the Brazilian Northeast region (ORadj: 3.41 [2.36–4.92] 95% CI), having low education (ORadj: 1.88 [1.26–2.81] 95% CI) and being a single mother (ORadj: 1.80 [1.24–2.61] 95% CI) were associated with limited knowledge of labor rights. Over 50% of pregnant women had their labor rights violated. Women from the northeast region of Brazil were five-fold more likely to experience rights violation (ORadj: 5.35 [2.52–11.52] 95% CI).
conclusionFew pregnant women knew their rights, and many experienced violations of labor rights, especially socially vulnerable women. Better health education on labor rights and increased monitoring are needed to protect women´s rights.
