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
Background: Evidence suggests that nurse midwives often provide unsatisfactory health education to post-caesarean (CS) mothers regarding home care. The increase in CS has led to the premature discharge of mothers with insufficient guidance, which may result in an abnormal recovery. This might be due to the lack of a home care guide to educate mothers on how to care for themselves at home after discharge. The authors developed a post-caesarean section home care guide and assessed its effectiveness at increasing knowledge of home care among nurse midwives working in a maternity unit in central Tanzania. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 126 nurse midwives working in a maternity unit of Dodoma and Singida regional Hospital. Participants were assessed on their level of knowledge of home care after CS both before and after they were exposed to the intervention. The intervention involved familiarizing the nurse midwives to the developed home care guide. SPSS Version 27 was used in data analysis. Results: The mean knowledge score was 20.29 (±4.036) and 24.59 (SD ± 3.338) before and after the intervention, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. Linear regression reported the intervention's large effect size (Cohen's Conclusion: The knowledge of nurse midwives on home care after caesarean section is generally low. Providing nurse-midwives with the developed home care guide improves their understanding and ensures the delivery of standardized education. This supports a safe recovery for mothers, which is particularly vital given current high cesarean section rates.
