Application of obstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators in continuous quality improvement.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 verify the effect of obstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators for continuously improving nursing quality.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the obstetric nurse quality in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and University-Town Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2019 to September 2020. Nurses and patients in the Obstetrics Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and University-Town Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were respectively assigned into an experimental group and a control group. High-quality nursing services were provided to patients in both groups. In addition to the high-quality nursing services, the obstetric nurses in the experimental group received training on obstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators based on the knowledge-attitude-practice model. An obstetric nursing quality evaluation was conducted between the two groups. Continuous quality improvement was achieved using the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. The nursing quality was reflected by 14 obstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators and the nurses' job satisfaction was compared between the experimental group and the control group before and after intervention.
resultsThe information regarding the nurses and parturients, and the nurses' job satisfaction were not significantly different between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Except for information regarding the lateral perineotomy at vaginal delivery, there was no significant difference in other obstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators between the two groups before the intervention. In the experimental group, the rates of early skin-to-skin contact between mothers and infants, early sucking with exclusive breastfeeding during hospitalization, parturient satisfaction with the nurses' work, and nurses' job satisfaction after intervention were better than before (P<0.05). In the experimental group, the rates of neonatal asphyxia/severe neonatal asphyxia and postpartum hemorrhage following vaginal delivery after intervention was significantly lower than before (P<0.05). The experimental group had better outcomes than the control group in the rates of early skin-to-skin contact between mothers and infants, early sucking with exclusive breastfeeding during hospitalization, parturient satisfaction with the nurses' work, and nurses' job satisfaction (P<0.05).
conclusionObstetric nursing-sensitive quality indicators can be used to improve the nursing quality in continuous quality improvement, which is worthy of promotion in clinics.
