Birth Plans: Encouraging Patient Engagement.
Article in The Journal of perinatal education, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Patient engagement is defined as a set of actions by patients, family members, and health-care providers that promotes patients and family members as active participants of the health-care team. As focus turns toward patient engagement where patients have an active role in their health care, childbirth educators and nurses are in a position to support patient choices. The focus is to assist the engaged woman to stay engaged and to encourage those not engaged to become engaged. The results can be improved patient care outcomes and improved patient satisfaction. One way to promote patient engagement can be the birth plan. This process can be facilitated through education of choices and assisting with writing choices into a formal birth plan.
