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

"Preventable disparities in health outcomes for women during the perinatal period are unacceptable. To successfully combat these inequities, it is important to identify their causes and use quality improvement approaches to eliminate them. Proposed are 5 quality and safety strategies to guide efforts to eliminate disparities and ensure equitable health care for all women and newborns: (1) apply a systems approach based on the Socio-Ecological Model, (2) identify root causes of disparities, (3) identify and eliminate strong but wrong routines, (4) use improvement and implementation science methods and tools, and (5) use data to guide the plan and track progress."
