What Do Women Want? Looking Beyond Patient Satisfaction.
Article in Nursing for women's health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo hear the voices of women, their partners, and nurses about expectations and priorities during the postpartum hospitalization.
designFocus groups using semistructured interview questions.
settingA 12-bed labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum unit at a small urban hospital in the U.S. Northeast.
participantsWomen who planned to or had given birth, their partners, and the maternity nurses who cared for them. MEASUREMENTS: Qualitative thematic analysis of focus group transcripts.
resultsThematic analysis produced the following themes for women's priorities: Need for individualized attention to maternal physical and emotional care; Fear of providing inadequate care for the newborn, including establishing infant feeding; and Transitioning to parenting as a new mother versus as an experienced mother. Themes for nurses' priorities included Safety issues around sleep and breastfeeding, Transitioning to parenting with an emphasis on maternal self-care, and Addressing barriers to effective discharge education. Response comparisons between the women/partners and nurses suggest that there is a disconnection between women's and nurses' priorities and expectations for care during the postpartum period.
conclusionWomen and nurses identified unmet needs in the postpartum period, consistent with the current literature. Providing standardized education during the transitional period around discharge from the hospital to home may not be optimal and may even detract from meeting the needs for rest and connection with family and the health care team. Nursing care that extends beyond the maternity hospitalization may be needed to individualize care and meet previously unmet needs.
