Newborn Screening Knowledge and Attitudes Among Midwives and Out-of-Hospital-Birth Parents.
Article in The Journal of perinatal & neonatal nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Midwifery and nursing are collaborative partners in both education and practice. Understanding needs and barriers to clinical services such as newborn screening is essential. This study examined knowledge and attitudes of midwives and out-of-hospital-birth parents about newborn blood spot screening (NBS). Descriptive and cross-sectional surveys were distributed to midwives and out-of-hospital-birth parents from birth center registries and the Utah Health Department of Vital Records. Seventeen midwife surveys (response rate: 17%) and 113 parent surveys (response rate: 31%) were returned. Most midwives and out-of-hospital-birth parents reported satisfactory knowledge scores about NBS. Only 5% of parents (n = 6) did not participate in NBS. Most midwives reported that NBS is important and encouraged patients to consider undergoing NBS. Some concerns included the lack of education for both midwives and out-of-hospital patients and the trauma and accuracy of the heel prick soon after birth. Both midwives and out-of-hospital-birth parents expressed a need for improved NBS education. Additional studies are needed to ascertain whether this trend is seen with similar populations throughout the United States, to further elucidate the factors that drive NBS nonparticipation, and to develop educational resources for midwives and their patients.
