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

The integration of emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) into maternal and newborn care is essential for its effectiveness to avert preventable maternal and newborn deaths in healthcare facilities. This study used a theory-oriented quantitative approach to document the reported extent of EmONC integration, and its relationship with EmONC training, guidelines availability and level of healthcare facility. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among five hundred and five (505) healthcare providers and facility managers across the three levels of healthcare delivery. An adapted questionnaire from NoMad instrument was used to collect data on the integration of EmONC from the study participants. Ethical approval was obtained and informed consents taken from the participants. Both descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and median) and inferential analyses (Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney tests) were done with statistical significance level of p<0.05 using STATA 14. The mean age of respondents was 38.68±8.27. The results showed that the EmONC integration median score at the three levels of healthcare delivery was high (77 (IQR = 83-71)). The EmONC integration median score were 76 (IQR = 84-70), 76 (IQR = 80-68) and 78 (IQR = 84-74) in the primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities respectively. Integration of EmONC was highest (83 (IQR = 87-78)) among healthcare providers who had EmONC training and also had EmONC guidelines made available to them. There were significant differences in EmONC integration at the three levels of healthcare delivery (p = 0.046), among healthcare providers who had EmONC training and those with EmONC guidelines available in their maternity units (p = 0.001). EmONC integration was reportedly high and significantly associated with EmONC training and availability of guidelines. However, the congruence of reported and actual extent of integration of EmONC at the three levels of healthcare delivery still need validation as such would account for the implementation success and maternal-neonatal outcomes.
