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
backgroundPregnancy is associated with a wide range of physiologic and psychologic changes that could affect a mother's body image and maternal-fetal attachment. One of the presented interventions regarding body image and maternal fetal attachment is mindfulness-based intervention. According to the evidence, mindfulness could be affected by various variables such as sociocultural background. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based intervention on mothers' body image and maternal fetal attachment among women who referred to the comprehensive health center of Isfahan-Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present quasi-experimental study was conducted on 70 pregnant women who were referred to the comprehensive health centers of Isfahan. The sampling method was convenient, and participants were allocated into two groups. While both groups received routine prenatal care, the intervention group also participated in a 6-session mindfulness counseling course. Demographic characteristics questionnaire, body image, and maternal fetal attachment scale were completed before and 1 month after the end of the intervention by both groups. Data were analyzed using the student
resultsNo significant difference was observed between the intervention and control group before (respectively, 105.3 and 103.3) and after (respectively, 106 and 105.4) the intervention regarding the score of body image. In the control group, the mean maternal-fetal attachment score did not differ significantly after the intervention compared to before (respectively, 93.6 and 93.5). However, in the intervention group, there was a significant difference between the score of attachment before and after (respectively, 93.4 and 99.06) the intervention (
conclusionsMindfulness-based counseling was effective in the improvement of maternal fetal attachment and could be used in interventional programs related to the mental health of pregnant mothers. Also, to design interventions for improvement of body image in pregnant mothers further studies should be conducted.
