The Quality of the Maternity Triage Process: a Qualitative Study.
Article in Advanced journal of emergency medicine, 2020. 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
introductionThere is no consensus on what the bases and criteria are for the dynamic process of maternity triage. Properly performing the maternity triage process requires reliable data to ensure the correct implementation of this process and the identification of existing deficiencies, and find strategies to modify, improve and enhance the quality of this process.
objectiveThe present study was conducted to explain the quality of the maternity triage process.
methodsThe present qualitative study performed a directed content analysis on 19 maternity triage service providers and key informants selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews in 2018 and analyzed using directed content analysis based on the Donabedian's model. The accuracy and rigor of the qualitative data were then investigated and confirmed.
resultsThe participants identified the most important factors affecting the quality of the services provided in maternity triage as two categories of measures and care, and interactions and communication. The category of measures and care included two subcategories of examinations and obtaining a medical history.
conclusionThe present study comprehensively identified different dimensions of the quality of maternity triage services at different levels. The participants identified the quality of the maternity triage process as a multi-dimensional and important concept. Different dimensions of the maternity triage process are recommended that be addressed when designing and implementing maternity triage guidelines and instructions so as to maintain the quality of this process and satisfy their needs.
