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: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of pregnancy-related anxiety (PRA) in the relationship between fetal movement self-monitoring adherence (FMSMA) and maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) among women in the third trimester. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 348 pregnant women in their third trimester recruited from the Boai Hospital of Zhongshan between January and December 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the FMSMA Scale (FMSMAS), the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale, and the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships among the variables, and the mediating effect was tested using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4). Results: FMSMA was positively correlated with MFA ( Conclusion: PRA partially mediates the relationship between FMSMA and MFA. Enhancing adherence to self-monitoring may help reduce pregnancy-related anxiety and strengthen maternal-fetal attachment. However, due to the cross-sectional nature of this study, causal relationships cannot be confirmed, and these findings should be interpreted with caution.
