Investigating the effect of familiarization with wound care after cesarean section through multimedia in reducing wound complications.

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
backgroundWound infection and dehiscence are common complications following childbirth. This study aimed to investigate the effect of multimedia-based education on cesarean section wound care in reducing postoperative wound complications among women undergoing cesarean delivery.
methodsA semi-experimental clinical trial was conducted on 360 post-cesarean women divided into three groups: Group A1 received face-to-face training with educational content, Group A2 received only educational content, and a control group received routine care. Data were collected using a two-part questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics and awareness across knowledge, attitude, and performance domains. A wound complication checklist was completed one week after discharge. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software.
findingsPre-intervention knowledge scores did not differ significantly among groups. Post-intervention, the control group scored lower than both A1 and A2 groups (P < 0.001). One week after discharge, wound site pain was significantly higher in the control group compared to A1 and A2 (P < 0.05). Clinically, wound site infection occurred in 35% of the control group, compared to 23% in A1 and 25% in A2; however, these differences were not statistically significant. No significant difference in satisfaction was observed between the experimental groups (P > 0.05), and participants in both A1 and A2 reported high satisfaction with the educational content.
conclusionMultimedia-based education on cesarean wound care effectively improves knowledge and reduces postoperative pain, supporting its use as a complementary intervention to standard care. Both face-to-face and content-only educational strategies were well-received by participants.
