Effects of SP6 Acupressure on Labor Pain During Childbirth Among Nulliparous Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Acupressure is a nonpharmacological therapeutic technique that involves applying pressure to specific body points to promote energy flow and relieve pain. This study evaluated the effect of Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupressure on labor pain among nulliparous women. Materials and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted between January and March 2023 in the labor and maternity wards of a tertiary care hospital in Sikkim, India. Sixty nulliparous women at 37-42 weeks of gestation with at least three contractions in 10 minutes were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: No significant difference was observed in the baseline pain scores between the groups (F Conclusions: SP6 acupressure demonstrated a positive effect on pain intensity and was a safe, noninvasive, and cost-effective method for reducing labor pain among nulliparous women. Therefore, it can be recommended as a supportive midwifery practice alongside routine obstetric care.
