Effects of internet-based supportive intervention on knowledge, pregnancy stress, fear of childbirth, and pregnancy outcomes in primiparas.

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: The proliferation of internet-based technologies has enabled the development of supportive intervention that have proven efficacious in several health education fields. However, their specific utility for primiparas has yet to be systematically evaluated. Methods: A total of 332 primiparas were enrolled between January 2021 and December 2023 to participate in a randomized controlled trial, and were equally assigned to two groups (166 per group). The control group received conventional health education, while the intervention group received an internet-based supportive intervention. After excluding dropouts, 141 participants in the intervention group and 137 in the control group were included for per-protocol analysis. Maternal and neonatal health knowledge, pregnancy stress, and fear of childbirth (FOC) were evaluated using the Maternal and Infant Knowledge Scale, Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale (PSRS), and Childbirth Fear Questionnaire (CAQ), respectively. Maternal and neonatal clinical outcomes were also recorded. Results: After the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher knowledge scores in nine out of ten domains, with a higher post-intervention total score (78.45 ± 5.97 vs. 67.31 ± 7.04, Conclusion: The internet-based supportive intervention is associated with higher knowledge, lower stress and FOC, and potential maternal and neonatal benefits among primiparas, suggesting its value as an antenatal education strategy.
