Advice on healthy pregnancy, delivery, motherhood and information on non-communicable diseases in the maternal care programme in Myanmar: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivePregnancy and delivery periods offer an opportunity for counselling women to improve behavioural risk and prevent complications, including non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, little evidence is available on counselling offered during antenatal and postnatal care (PNC) in Myanmar. This study aimed to assess the contents of advice and information received by women during antenatal and postnatal counselling and to identify factors associated with receiving those advice and information.
designCross-sectional study.
settingA predominantly rural township in the Ayeyawady region and a predominantly urban township in the Yangon region.
participants1500 women who had given birth in the last 6 weeks to 12 months prior to the survey. OUTCOME MEASURES: Receiving advice on 18 items during antenatal counselling, 10 items during postnatal counselling and information on five major NCDs during antenatal care (ANC).
resultsNearly 52% of women received advice on 18 items during antenatal counselling, and 60% received advice on 10 items during postnatal counselling. About 28% received information on five NCDs during ANC. Women who were living in the Yangon site, who had primary school education or lower and who experienced complications were less likely to receive advice on all items during both antenatal and postnatal counselling. Women who received PNC outside of a healthcare facility and were primiparas were also less likely to receive advice on all items during postnatal counselling. Women living in the Yangon site and those who utilised a private care facility were less likely to receive information on NCDs.
conclusionsOnly 60% of women received advice on healthy pregnancy, delivery and motherhood, whereas 30% received information on NCDs. Although non-modifiable maternal factors were associated with these results, counselling practice can be improved and information on NCDs can be offered as the first step of integrated NCDs care in maternal care programme in Myanmar.
