The Effect of Peanut Ball Use on the Labour Process and Maternal-Neonatal Outcomes in Parturient Women With High Maternal Body Mass Index: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of nursing practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05276947 (The Effect of Peanut Ball Use on Labor Process and Maternal - Neonatal Outcomes in Obese Pregnants), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
aimThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of using a peanut ball in different positions on the labour process, maternal and neonatal outcomes for parturient women with high maternal body mass index.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted between March 2022 and August 2023 with 59 parturient women. The intervention group (n = 29) was positioned with a peanut ball for 30 min every hour until cervical dilatation reached 5-10 cm. No intervention was made for the control group (n = 30). Data collection tools included the Birth Satisfaction Scale and pain assessment using the visual analogue scale.
resultsThe mean body mass index was 36.2 and 35.9 kg/m
conclusionIncreasing use of peanut balls in parturient women with high maternal body mass index may decrease labour pain and improve satisfaction with the labour process.
