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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the associations between positive/negative religious coping, fear of childbirth, and pregnancy-related distress among pregnant women.
methodsA descriptive correlational design was used at a training and research hospital (June 2023-March 2024). A total of 155 pregnant women completed a demographic form, the Religious Coping Scale, the Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale, and the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, t-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple regression.
resultsParticipants reported higher positive than negative religious coping. Fear of childbirth was moderate, and pregnancy-related distress was low. In adjusted regression analyses, negative religious coping was associated with higher fear of childbirth and pregnancy-related distress (p<0.05), while positive coping was not significantly associated.
conclusionAssessing religious coping in prenatal care may help identify women reporting greater childbirth fear and pregnancy-related distress. Spiritually sensitive support may be considered within holistic antenatal care. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the direction of these associations.
