Exploring the Unmet Needs of Postpartum Mothers: A Qualitative Study.
Article in The Journal of perinatal education, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07282964 (Mindful Moms, Mindful Meals), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify unmet needs of mothers in the postpartum period. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted two weeks postpartum with a convenience sample of 26 mothers who gave birth at an academic medical center. Topics included mothers' concerns, levels of preparedness, educational needs and preferences during antepartum, labor and birth, and postpartum periods. Data were qualitatively analyzed using NVivo and a combination of open coding and theoretical coding, based on the Perinatal Maternal Health Promotion Model. Three major themes emerged: concerns, expectations, and positive coping strategies, with variations by previous maternal experience. Findings suggest the need for different models of care with more anticipatory, mother-centered care to better meet mothers' needs and enhance postpartum outcomes and breastfeeding success.
