Comparing mothers' postpartum concerns in two clinical trials 18 years apart.
Trial report in Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
background and purposeTo determine if U.S. women's postpartum concerns have changed over time.
methodsMothers' postpartum concerns were compared in two clinical trials: 1997 (high-risk pregnancy) and 2015 (first-time mothers). Advanced practice nurses (APNs) provided care through 8 weeks postpartum and recorded interactions in clinical logs. Content analysis of logs was used for identifying concerns.
resultsNinety-five percent of 58 1997 mothers were African American; 64% of 62 2015 mothers were Hispanic. The number of infant concerns (129 vs. 144) was similar to four of the top five infant concerns; infant feeding was the top concern for both groups. The 1997 mothers were concerned with body changes, birth control, breastfeeding, maternal health problems, and had more concerns about their health (142 vs. 43); the 2015 mothers were concerned with not having help, fatigue, finding things hard. Both groups had postpartum pain concerns and problems accessing mother/infant governmental programs.
conclusionsMothers' concerns regarding infant care were essentially the same over the two time periods with infant feeding as the top concern. Maternal concerns in common were postpartum pain and needing help accessing government programs. Women who had high-risk pregnancies had more health concerns. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Results provide guidance for helping minority mothers in the postpartum period.
