1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Our understanding of midwife-led antenatal care by demonstrates its positive impact on maternal satisfaction and favorable birth outcomes in low-risk women essential. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the impact of midwife-led antenatal care for low-risk women at a tertiary hospital. The objectives were to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes and explore how midwife-focused education influences maternal satisfaction. The study involved 150 low-risk primiparous women, using structured questionnaires and clinical records. Results showed high rates of spontaneous vaginal birth (71.33%) and positive maternal satisfaction, with 78% of mothers reporting no distress during labor. Thus, we show the need for evaluating the effectiveness of midwife-led antenatal care in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes for low-risk women at a tertiary hospital.
