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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine the effects of postpartum colic massage and kangaroo care on anxiety, family and maternal productivity in mothers.
methodThis study is a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with mothers of infants diagnosed with infantile colic. The study groups were randomly divided into three groups, namely massage, kangaroo care and control group, by stratified randomization. Study data were collected using the "Mother-Baby Information Form", "The Barkin Index of Maternal Functioning (BIMF)", "Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale" and "Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI)". Data collection was completed between March 2022 and February 2023. The study was completed with a total of 90 mothers.
resultsThe findings indicated that maternal functioning showed the greatest improvement in the massage group (12.31 ± 5.93, p < 0.001). The decrease in postpartum anxiety and depression scores was smaller in the control group compared with the massage and kangaroo care groups (5.29 ± 9.51, 1.39 ± 1.28). A significant negative correlation was observed between infantile colic and maternal functioning (rs = -0.69, p < 0.001), whereas significant positive correlations were found between infantile colic and postpartum anxiety and depression (rs = 0.51, rs = 0.58, p < 0.001).
conclusionColic massage and kangaroo care should be integrated into routine prenatal and postpartum education and should be applied by nurses in clinical care.
