Article in International journal of women's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To analyze the latent profiles and influencing factors of psychological capital of midwives, and to explore the core competencies of midwives with different profiles. Methods: From July 5 to July 19, 2024, a cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling to recruit 965 midwives from Jiangsu Province, China. The Demographics Questionnaire, Positive Psycap Questionnaire, and Midwife Core Competency Scale were used for investigation. Data analysis was performed using latent profile analysis, univariate analysis, multinomial logistic regression analysis, and the Kruskal-Wallis Results: The psychological capital of midwives can be classified into three profiles: low psychological capital - balanced group (C1) (56.37%), medium psychological capital - low tenacity group (C2) (21.97%), and high psychological capital - balanced group (C3) (21.66%). Compared to C1, midwives working in general hospitals were more likely to belong to C2 ( Conclusion: This study revealed heterogeneity in the psychological capital of midwives. Targeted interventions, such as Psychological Capital Intervention (PCI) strategies, should be primarily applied to the C1 group to enhance their self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and core competency levels. Concurrently, the emotional contagion and role-modeling effects of the C3 group should be leveraged. When resources permit, efforts should also be made to improve the tenacity level of the C2 group.
