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

The presence of a known labor companion was shown to improve childbirth satisfaction. However, a companion's anxiety might affect the satisfaction of laboring women. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the anxiety of labor companions and childbirth satisfaction among laboring women. This cross-sectional study was conducted on primiparous women who gave birth with a relative as a labor companion in a hospital in Sabzevar, Iran, between December 2020 and November 2021. The demographic checklist and Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale were filled out for laboring women, and the Spielberg Trait Anxiety (STAI) was filled out for companions. One-hundred fifty-seven laboring women (mean age 25.76 (SD = 4.99) years and their companions (mean age 40.54 (SD = 10.67 years) were analyzed. Moderate and severe anxiety were found in 98 (62.4%) and 21 (13.4%) participants, respectively. Favorable childbirth satisfaction was reported by 64 (40.7%) laboring women. No significant relationship was observed between the companion's anxiety score and laboring women's childbirth satisfaction (r=-0.117, p = 0.145), even after adjusting for confounders (partial r=-0.092, p = 0.276). The findings of this study revealed no significant relationship between companion anxiety and childbirth satisfaction in laboring women in hospital settings.
