Pregnancy During the Global COVID-19 Pandemic: Canadian Experiences of Care.
Article in Frontiers in sociology, 2021. 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
Drawing on journal entries written by a cohort of pregnant Canadians, this article explores how responses to the COVID-19 pandemic shaped access to and experiences of maternity care. Variance in practices among jurisdictions and among provider groups meant that participants had diverse experiences. Nevertheless, I identify clear shared concerns, including fear over giving birth with no familial support, the need for better communications, and challenges entailed when needing to switch providers or travel for care during a state of emergency. Despite a universal health care system, there are gaps and inequities in access to appropriate maternity care in Canada; the pandemic exposed existing access challenges.
