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

The impact of self-affirmation as a therapeutic intervention for postpartum mothers who have undergone cesarean sections, aiming to enhance their self-confidence and resilience is of interest. A true experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures was used, involving 60 mothers in both experimental and control groups. The results showed that the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in self-confidence and resilience following the intervention. Positive self-affirmation techniques, including educational materials on diet, hygiene, and newborn care, contributed to these improvements. Thus, we show that positive self-affirmation significantly enhanced psychological well-being and coping abilities among mothers who had cesarean sections.
