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
Background: Mistreatment of women during childbirth in healthcare facilities can serve as a barrier to utilizing healthcare services. Respectful maternity care (RMC) has been recommended to address this issue, and interventions to promote RMC have been implemented globally. For Indigenous women in particular, such care is closely related to childbirth satisfaction and is considered crucial. However, research on RMC in Guatemala is limited, with no reports focusing on educational interventions. Therefore, this study aimed to implement an educational program to promote RMC for nurses and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design and was conducted at a hospital in the Quiché Department, Guatemala. For nurses in the hospital, a two-day educational program on RMC, which included lectures and group work, was implemented. The effectiveness of the program was assessed by comparing women's experiences of RMC and mistreatment during childbirth before and after the intervention. Data was analyzed using chi-square tests, independent Results: This study included 176 postpartum women, with 88 in each pre- and post-intervention group. The average RMC scores significantly increased from 33.74 pre-intervention to 56.70 post-intervention ( Conclusion: This educational program suggested improvements in women's childbirth experiences in the facility. Implementing this program in other facilities and regions could contribute to the widespread promotion of RMC practices in healthcare settings.
