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.

Abstract

backgroundExposure to chemical products during pregnancy is a growing threat to maternal and fetal health.

objectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing (MI) based education in reducing the use of products that may contain chemicals among pregnant women and in creating a change in attitudes towards the use of these chemicals.

methodsThe study was conducted using a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design with 130 pregnant women. Intervention group received three face-to-face MI based education sessions aimed at reducing the use of products that may contain chemicals. Participants reported using frequencies of personal care and domestic products that may contain chemicals. Attitudes toward avoiding potentially harmful chemicals were additionally measured using an Endocrine Disrupting Attitude Scale (EDAS).

resultsA statistically significant difference was found when comparing the differences (pre-test-post-test) in personal care and domestic products that contain chemicals usage between the experimental and control groups p < 0.05. In the experimental group, a decrease in the use of most products was observed in the post-test. While the pretest EDAS mean scores of the pregnant women in the intervention and control groups were similar, the posttest EDAS mean scores increased. Results indicated a significant main effect in traction between group and time for EDAS (F13.06; η2 = .093, P < .001).

conclusionMI based education was an effective method to reduce the use of products that may chemicals and develop positive attitude towards protection against use of products.

trial registrationThe study was registered retrospectively with the Clinical Trials Protocol Registration and Results System. NCT06380634. (registered 24.04.2024).
