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: Fear of childbirth (FOC) during pregnancy is associated with adverse effects on mothers' and children's health. Factors related to FOC include physical, psychological, and social aspects. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between FOC and attachment styles and to examine the factors associated with FOC. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was carried out using cluster sampling of comprehensive health centers and convenience sampling of individuals from November 21, 2023, to March 20, 2024. The participants were 330 pregnant Iranian women across different trimesters. The questionnaire included Collins and Read's Revised Adult Attachment Scale and the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, which was completed online. A Results: The mean (SD) FOC of participants was 56.37 (27.78). The results showed that the average FOC of people with a dismissive-avoidant attachment style was 10 units higher than that of people with a fearful-avoidant attachment style (Mean difference: 10.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96-20.49, Conclusions: Attachment style and psychosocial factors play an important role in shaping FOC. Early identification of these patterns can help healthcare providers support women and promote a positive pregnancy and birth experience.
