Exploring family physicians' reasons to continue or discontinue providing intrapartum care: Qualitative descriptive study.

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 examine the reasons why family physicians continue or discontinue providing intrapartum care in their clinical practice.
designQualitative descriptive study.
settingTwo hospitals located in a multicultural area of Montreal, Que, in November 2011 to June 2012.
participantsSixteen family physicians who were current or former providers of obstetric care.
methodsData were collected using semistructured qualitative interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts. MAIN
findingsThree overarching themes that help create understanding of why family doctors continue to provide obstetric care were identified: their attraction, often initiated by role models early in their careers, to practising complete continuity of care and accompanying patients in a special moment in their lives; the personal, family, and organizational pressures experienced while pursuing a family medicine career that includes obstetrics; and their ongoing reflection about continuing to practise obstetrics.
conclusionThe practice of obstetrics was very attractive to family physician participants whether they provided intrapartum care or decided to stop. More professional support and incentives might help keep family doctors practising obstetrics.
