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 and Aims: Fear of childbirth is a common issue during pregnancy. This study aimed to compare the effects of childbirth preparation classes and spirituality-based counseling on the levels of childbirth fear in primiparous pregnant women. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 90 primiparous pregnant women. Participants were randomly selected and were subsequently divided into three groups: (A) childbirth preparation classes ( Results: Before the intervention, the mean scores of fear of childbirth were 50.97 ± 4.75, 53.23 ± 4.87, and 53.03 ± 5.12 in the A, B, and C groups, respectively, and there were no statistically significant differences in the mean scores of fear of childbirth among the three groups. One week after the intervention, the mean scores for fear of childbirth were significantly lower in the A and the B groups compared with the C group (40.20 ± 4.97 and 43.06 ± 10.14 vs. 54.66 ± 5.60, Conclusion: Both spirituality-based counseling and childbirth preparation classes reduced levels of fear of childbirth in pregnant women.
