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
backgroundAbortion is common among women of reproductive age, but there is no consensus on whether it leads to psychological difficulties. This study was conducted to measure the level of post abortion grief and to determine the factors related to it among women admitted for abortion to hospitals gynecology units in Bojnurd.
methodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted in 2023 on 300 women aged 15-49 who were hospitalized following an abortion (spontaneous, therapeutic, or inevitable)n hospitals in Bojnurd. Participants were recruited via convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Perinatal Grief Scale, Marital Satisfaction Scale, the Cassidy Social Support Scale, and the Depression Anxiety and stress scales (DAS). Following the provision of informed consent, questionnaires were administered at three time points: immediately after the abortion, and again at 2- and 4-weeks post-event. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 23), with a significance level of p < 0.05.
resultsThe severity of grief symptoms decreased significantly over time (p < 0.001). Across all three measurement periods, mean grief scores were higher among housewives (p = 0.016) and women with a history of abortion (p = 0.002) compared to other participants. A multivariate analysis identified three primary predictors of grief intensity: a history of mental disorders, lower levels of social support, and lower marital satisfaction.
conclusionThe results of this study emphasize the need for special attention to housewives with a history of abortion, the development of social support, and the enhancement of marital satisfaction and coping skills. The use of targeted counseling services and the creation of family support platforms can help reduce the intensity of grief reactions and accelerate the psychological recovery process after abortion.
