1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Traumatic childbirth significantly elevates the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and fear of childbirth (FOC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of a psychoeducational intervention, incorporating relaxation training, on PTSD and FOC in pregnant women with a history of traumatic childbirth. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 70 pregnant women in Hamadan, Iran, with a history of traumatic childbirth. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group ( Results: Four weeks' postintervention, the intervention group exhibited a statistically significant reduction in PTSD scores compared to the control group (adjusted mean difference: -9.23; 95% CI: -11.28, -7.18; Conclusions: A structured psychoeducational intervention for childbirth preparation that incorporates relaxation training effectively alleviates PTSD symptoms and reduces fear of childbirth in pregnant women with a history of traumatic childbirth. The substantial effect sizes observed underscore its clinical relevance.
