Clients' Perspectives on Quality of Delivery Services in a Rural Setting in Tanzania: Findings from a Qualitative Action-Oriented Research.
Article in International journal of MCH and AIDS, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo know and understand the perspectives of women on the quality of maternal health services provided at their health facility (HF) and to incite community self-propelled problem identification and way forward.
methodsA qualitative action- oriented research was conducted in a rural setting in Tanzania from 2011 to 2014. Twenty In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) and two Focus Group Discussions were held. The IDIs were conducted with mothers who had attended antenatal care at the HF and delivered there. The recordings transformed into English texts were used for analysis to get themes and possible explanations that were compared and reflected.
resultsMore than half 60% of the respondents reported to have experienced abuse by the health staff, 80% reported lack of amenities and all agreed to unavailability of health services at odd hours or weekends. CONCLUSION AND GLOBAL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS: This study reveals that the quality of maternal health services provided at the HF is not up to standard. The study demonstrates the importance of self-diagnosis in a community and to propel self-community interventions towards improving rural health services. The government, researchers and other stakeholders have key roles in the elimination of health disparities and unhealthy political mingling in health care.
