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

objectivesIn recent years, catastrophic hurricanes have devastated numerous areas, prompting a need to build resilience particularly in at-risk populations that rely on health care and social services. The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) workforce covers a wide breadth of services to pregnant women, families, and children with special health care needs. Research has noted the need to strengthen this workforce with training and skills to help their patients and clients prepare, respond, and recover from disasters.

methodsFocus groups and interviews with 35 Florida parents and professionals impacted by Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Michael were conducted to evaluate the stressors placed on systems of care serving mothers and infants in Florida. Journey mapping was used to explore opportunities for improving MCH training and services.

resultsResults highlight the importance of increased communication and collaboration between families and providers, coordination among health care and social services providers, effective public messaging, tailored preparedness materials and processes, and the need for post-disaster mental health services and employment resources.

conclusionUltimately, hurricane preparation and mitigation are key for improving community resilience and these efforts should be tailored to MCH populations as well as delivered by the providers who know their needs best.
