The effect of early postpartum vitamin d and e supplementation on uterine after pain: a double-blind randomized clinical trial.

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
backgroundUterine after pain is a common yet under-addressed postpartum complaint. This study aimed to investigate whether early postpartum supplementation with vitamins D and E could reduce the intensity and duration of uterine after pain in multiparous women.
methodsThis double-blind, parallel-group randomized clinical trial was conducted between October and December 2022 at Shahid Mobini Hospital in Sabzevar, Iran. One hundred eligible multiparous women were randomly assigned to receive either eight capsules containing 100 mg of vitamin E and 400 IU of vitamin D over the first 48 h postpartum or matched placebo capsules. Pain intensity was assessed via the visual analog scale (VAS), beginning 2 h after delivery and subsequently at 6-hour intervals across eight time points. The duration of pain was measured via the Cox Menstrual Symptom Scale (CMSS). Data analysis was performed via SPSS version 16, with statistical significance set at P < 0.05.
resultsNo significant differences in pain intensity or duration at baseline were detected between the groups (P = 0.58 and P = 0.06, respectively). From the third time point onward, participants in the intervention group reported significantly lower pain intensity than did those in the placebo group (P < 0.001). A similar trend was observed for pain duration, with a statistically significant reduction starting from the second time point in the intervention group (P < 0.001).
conclusionSupplementation with vitamins E and D during the early postpartum period may serve as a safe, effective, and accessible strategy for reducing the intensity and duration of uterine after pain in multiparous women. These findings support the integration of targeted micronutrient therapy into postpartum pain management protocols.
