Midwifery research in areas of deprivation and need: the MeRIDiAN project.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Areas with high levels of deprivation often have the lowest numbers of research participation. In January 2020, a maternity research service was established at a UK National Health Service (NHS) Trust incorporating a project monitoring equity of access to pregnant people from areas of deprivation and need. Aims: The aim is to monitor maternity research opportunities for pregnant people in areas of deprivation and need. Method: A collaborative working group was established. Using the Index of Multiple Deprivation levels (IMD) levels; 1-4 were considered 'areas in need'. Data were collected over a 12-month period from January 2020. Results: Fifty-four pregnant people (3.1%), out of 1762 who delivered during 2020, were recruited to one of three research studies ('Big Baby', 'POOL' and 'PAN-COVID'). The majority of pregnant people (65.9%) who delivered a baby were in IMD levels 1-4. Recruitment within IMD levels 1-4: 'PAN-COVID' at 86.7%, followed by 'Big Baby' with 77.3% and 'POOL' at 70.6%. COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges which impacted research delivery, including availability of research studies. Conclusion: This project was founded due to concerns that pregnant people from areas of need would be under-represented in research. We have found that this has not occurred. Recommendations are being put in place to ensure equity of access for all.
