Providing immediate neonatal care and resuscitation at birth beside the mother: clinicians' views, a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe aims of this study were to assess clinicians' views and experiences of providing immediate neonatal care at birth beside the mother, and of using a mobile trolley designed to facilitate this bedside care.
designQualitative interview study with semistructured interviews.
resultsThe results were analysed using thematic analysis.
settingA large UK maternity unit.
participantsClinicians (n=20) from a range of disciplines who were present when the trolley was used to provide neonatal care at birth at the bedside. Five clinicians provided/observed advanced resuscitation by the bedside.
resultsFive themes were identified: (1) Parents' involvement, which included 'Contact and involvement', 'Positive emotions for parents' and 'Staff communication'; (2) Reservations about neonatal care at birth beside the mother, which included 'Impact on clinicians' and 'Impact on parents'; (3) Practical challenges in providing neonatal care at the bedside, which included 'Cord length' and 'Caesarean section'; (4) Comparison of the trolley with usual resuscitation equipment and (5) Training and integration of bedside care into clinical routine, which included 'Teething problems' and 'Training'.
conclusionsOverall, most clinicians were positive about providing immediate neonatal care at the maternal bedside, particularly in terms of the clinicians' perceptions of the parents' experience. Clinicians also perceived that their close proximity to parents improved communication. However, there was some concern about performing more intensive interventions in front of parents. Providing immediate neonatal care and resuscitation at the bedside requires staff training and support.
