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
introductionThe primary aim of the study was to assess mothers' perception of the consistency of information retained from antenatal consultations relative to their experience of their neonate's hospitalization. Secondary aims included evaluating the quality of information delivered on fetal status, management, and prognosis, and identifying factors associated with perceived inconsistencies between retained information and experience.
methodsThis questionnaire-based study involved the mothers of neonates treated in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (Hôpital Femme-Mère-Enfant, Lyon, France). Mothers were included if they had attended a prenatal diagnosis consultation and gave birth between January 2020 and December 2022 to a newborn admitted to the NICU. The main dependent variable was the perceived consistency of information provided during prenatal consultations compared with mothers' experiences of hospitalization. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed, and quantitative variables were summarized as medians and qualitative variables as counts and percentages.
resultsOf 106 eligible mothers, 64 (60%) responded to the questionnaire. Among the latter, 68% (43/63) reported that the information received during antenatal consultations was mostly or fully consistent with their experience of their neonate's hospitalization. Among the 20 mothers who reported disparities (32%), 7 (35%) reported inconsistencies with information provided by other specialists and 5 (25%) reported not receiving information on their newborn's condition or prognosis.
conclusionThis study highlights the need to improve the consistency and clarity of information provided during antenatal consultations, particularly in a multidisciplinary context, and to better convey prognostic uncertainties. Further studies are required on the impact of these interventions on maternal experiences, preferably with a prospective design to limit recall bias.
