The role of midwives in first-trimester abortion care: A 40-year experience in Tunisia.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 review the relevant literature on abortion and summarize interviews with key stakeholders to assess the role of midwives in the evolution of abortion-related care in Tunisia.
methodsInterviews with eight stakeholders from different organizations based on a guide developed for the study, focusing on policies, strategies used for implementation, capacities used for expansion, user opinions and experience, obstacles and facilitators, and control and evaluation.
resultsTask-sharing for midwifes was encouraged in the family planning program from the beginning and when medical abortion was introduced. It allows midwifes to contribute widely, develop good skills and performance for several tasks, and helps reduce regional disparities in human resource allocation. Success and safety of home use of medical abortion confirms the ability of women to manage their own abortion. Yet, obstacles to accessing abortion still exist for several reasons.
conclusionThis study, based on interviews with personnel with significant experience and solid knowledge of sexual and reproductive health services, allowed us to consider proposals for a future strategy to integrate task-sharing into abortion care and address the barriers to legal and safe abortion access for all women in Tunisia.
