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
Maternal deterioration during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period can rapidly progress to severe maternal morbidity if early warning signs are not recognized and managed promptly. This study aimed to assess maternity nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding maternal deterioration and to examine their association with nurses' preparedness to recognize and manage maternal deterioration in maternity units. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 nurses working in maternity units of tertiary hospitals. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics, knowledge related to maternal deterioration, professional attitudes toward obstetric emergency care, and preparedness for managing maternal deterioration. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to examine relationships between study variables. Data were collected over a six-month period from January to June 2026. The mean knowledge score was 3.45 ± 0.71, indicating a high level of knowledge among participants. The mean attitude score was 3.68 ± 0.64, reflecting generally positive attitudes toward managing maternal emergencies. Preparedness for managing maternal deterioration showed a mean score of 3.41 ± 0.59, indicating a moderate-to-high level of preparedness. Knowledge and attitudes were significantly correlated with preparedness (
