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
Obstetric violence (OV) is a significant public health concern involving disrespectful, abusive, and non-consented practices during maternity care. This cross-sectional study investigated its prevalence and determinants among 235 postnatal women in hospitals under the Giza Health Affairs Directorate, Egypt. Women aged 18 years or older who delivered and were preparing for discharge were enrolled; those with loss of consciousness during hospitalization were excluded. Face-to-face interviews used a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic data, obstetric history, seven domains of OV, and patient satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression (p ≤ 0.05). The primary outcome was OV prevalence (any affirmative response to violence-related questions); the secondary outcome was identifying factors associated with OV. Of 235 women, 39.15% experienced OV, mainly prolonged waiting (11.91%) and verbal abuse (9.36%), with rare non-consented interventions. No significant associated factors were found. Satisfaction was high for compassionate care (86.81%) and control (85.53%), while 31.91% were dissatisfied with problem resolution. This study identified a moderate prevalence of OV among women, highlighting the need to strengthen respectful maternity care practices through policy improvements, healthcare provider training, and system-level interventions.
