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
backgroundPregnancy is often considered the happiest experience in a woman’s life. However, perinatal loss may sadly occur as one of its possible outcomes, which necessitates the provision of bereavement care by skilled nurses. Consequently, this study aimed to assess the practices of maternity nurses in terms of perinatal bereavement care.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study design, which utilized a convenient sample of 117 maternity nurses who worked at Mansoura University Hospital (MUH), Egypt, was used. Data were collected throughout February to April 2025 via a structured interview questionnaire, which consisted of two parts, including the general and professional characteristics of maternity nurses and maternity nurses’ self- reported practices regarding perinatal bereavement care. Pearson’s chi-square test (x²) was used, the Fisher exact test (FE) was used when possible.
resultsThe study findings revealed that 73.5% of the studied maternity nurses had a satisfactory level of practice regarding perinatal bereavement care. Notably, 0.0% of them used the partogram during labor. Furthermore, only 17.1% of them allowed skin-to-skin contact with the dead baby.
conclusionAlthough maternity nurses generally reported a satisfactory level of practice regarding perinatal bereavement care, some deficiencies were reported during the intrapartum period.
