Observational study in BMC research notes, 2018. 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.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesData was gathered to study the impact of a context-specific modified WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (mSCC) at two tertiary care settings in Sri Lanka, as a part of an implementation program. DATA DESCRIPTION: We provide data sets of a prospective observational study which was conducted in the University Obstetrics Unit at De Soysa Hospital for Women (DSHW), Colombo and two Obstetric Units at Teaching Hospital, Mahamodara, Galle (THMG), Sri Lanka. These consist of demographic and checklist implementation details and data on the level of acceptance. The study was conducted over 8 weeks at DSHW and over 4 weeks at THMG. Checklists were kept attached to clinical records at admission and collected on discharge. Level of acceptance was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. Outcome measures were adoption rate (percentage of deliveries where mSCC was used), adherence to practices (mean percentage of items checked in each checklist), response rate (percentage of staff members who responded to questionnaire) and level of acceptance (percentage of "strongly agree/agree" in Likert scale to five questions regarding acceptance of modified SCC).
