A qualitative study on the experiences of haemophilia carriers before, during and after pregnancy.
Article in Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionHaemophilia carriers (HCs) face considerable haemostatic and psychological challenges during reproduction.
aimTo explore the perspectives of HCs on healthcare in the current standard of haemophilia treatment during all reproductive phases: preconception, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. In addition, we examined the psychological impact of haemophilia during these phases. MATERIAL AND
methodsFocus group discussions (FGDs) and semi-structured interviews were conducted with HCs in January/February 2020 until data saturation was reached. All sessions were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed by two independent researchers through thematic content analysis using MAXQDA® software. The results were then discussed within the research team until consensus was reached. The constructed themes were shared with and reviewed by the HCs.
resultsFifteen HCs were included in three FGDs and four interviews. Five central themes were constructed: (1) communication by healthcare professionals, (2) lack of knowledge, (3) feeling insecure, (4) autonomy and (5) family experiences with haemophilia. Desired improvements in care mainly concerned counselling during preconception and pregnancy. This included timely access to comprehensive information during each consecutive phase, acceptance of HCs' choices by healthcare providers and healthcare tailored to the HC's family experience with haemophilia.
conclusionsIn recent years, haemophilia treatment has seen major advances, which could impact general and reproductive care for HCs. HCs indicated that reproductive care would benefit from a more personal and informative approach. Healthcare professionals could use these insights to adapt their consultations to meet the needs of these women when they are preparing for having children.
