Do maternal characteristics influence maternal-fetal medicine physicians' willingness to intervene when managing periviable deliveries?
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveDetermine the relative influence of patient characteristics on Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physicians' willingness to intervene when managing 23-week preterm premature rupture of membranes. STUDY
designSurveyed 750 randomly sampled US members of the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. Physicians rated their willingness to offer induction, order steroids and perform cesarean across eight vignettes; then completed a questionnaire querying expectations about neonatal outcomes and demographics.
resultsThree hundred and twenty-five (43%) MFMs responded. Patient characteristics only influenced ⩽11% of participants' willingness ratings. Overall, provider characteristics and institutional norms were associated with willingness to perform antenatal interventions, for example, practice region was associated with willingness to offer induction (P<0.001), order steroids (P=0.008) and perform cesarean for distress (P=0.011); while institutional cesarean cutoffs were associated with willingness to order steroids and perform cesarean for labor and distress (all P<0.001).
conclusionPhysician-level factors and institutional norms, more so than patient characteristics, may drive periviable care and outcomes.
