Effects of Perineal Priming and Perineal Support on Perineal Trauma and the Duration of the Second Stage of Labor Among Primigravidae.

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
introductionThis study aimed to investigate the effects of perineal priming and perineal support on perineal trauma and the duration of the second stage of labor among primigravidae.
methodsA quantitative research approach with a posttest-only design was chosen, and 40 primigravidae were assigned to each of the experimental and control groups. Primigravidae in the experimental group received perineal priming and perineal support, whereas those in the control group received routine care during labor. The frequency of perineal trauma and the duration of the second stage of labor were compared.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences between the groups in perineal trauma or the duration of the second stage of labor at the 0.05 level. DISCUSSION: Perineal priming and perineal support are simple, low-cost interventions that are potentially feasible in routine maternity care. They are also regarded as innovative because they include various interventions that have not previously been combined. Thus, the decision to use these interventions could be based on the midwife's knowledge and the mother's willingness.
