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
This study explores partners' roles during labor, birth, and the postpartum period, and the factors influencing their performance. A qualitative interpretive phenomenological approach was adopted to explore participants' lived experiences. A total of 31 partners participated in semi-structured face-to-face interviews using open-ended questions. The roles performed by partners can be grouped into a single role: comprehensive caregiver of the birthing woman and the newborn, encompassing physical, emotional, and social care. Facilitators included effective communication, access to information, a sense of involvement, and prior experience, whereas barriers comprised insufficient support, exclusion, uncertainty, and undervaluation of their role. This dynamic role evolves through sociocultural expectations, feedback with professionals, and institutional policies, highlighting the importance of supporting partners to strengthen family-centred care.
