Effect of acupressure on childbirth outcomes in nulliparous women: A randomized clinical trial.

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
backgroundNon-pharmaceutical method is one of the conventional methods of reducing labor pain. Acupressure is suggested as an effective method for reducing labor pain with favorable effects on the outcome of childbirth. Different acupressure methods are suggested for this purpose; the most effective one has to be investigated. Therefore, the present study compared the effect of two of the most effective acupressure methods, namely lumbar rotation in a standing position and the 6 MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this semi-experimental randomized clinical trial, 126 nulliparous women in Bint Al-Huda Hospital, Bojnourd, Iran, February-June 2021, were enrolled (by convenient sampling based on the inclusion criteria) and assigned to two interventions and a control group (no intervention). Baseline pain intensity was measured by VAS at a dilatation of 4 cm, immediately after intervention, and at dilation of 8 cm. Group "A" received lumbar rotation in standing position and group "B" received SP6 acupressure; once at 4 and once at 8 cm dilatation. The length of the active phase and the second stage of labor and the total duration of labor were calculated in minutes. The mothers completed the Walker Birth Experience Questionnaire within 2 h after the labor. Mean values were compared using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA, for three groups, with posthoc tests for significant differences) and independent samples
resultsAfter the intervention, groups A and B had a lower mean pain intensity (5.80 ± 1.83 and 4.82 ± 2.14, respectively) than the control group (7.70 ± 1.91,
conclusionLumbar rotation in the standing position and SP6 acupressure had a positive effect on pain intensity, duration of labor, and birth experience.
