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

introductionThe length of postpartum hospital stays is decreasing internationally. The ongoing organizational change from hospital to home-based postpartum care implies the promotion of family-centered care for healthy women, their babies and families. The aim of the study was to explore midwives' experiences of an organizational change in early postpartum care services from hospital to home-based care in Norway.

methodsTen midwives participated in two separate focus-group interviews. Systematic Text Condensation (STC) was the method used to analyze the data.

resultsThe midwives in the current study described that the organizational change in early postpartum care services from hospital to home-based care was characterized by: 1) unclear leadership, 2) increased continuity of care and professional growth, and 3) the midwives being solution-oriented.

conclusionsThe midwives had both positive and negative experiences of an organizational change in early postpartum care services from hospital to home-based care in Norway. The study indicates a need for increased resources, training in new tasks and employees being more included when changes in midwifery practice are planned and implemented. The current study contributes knowledge of relevance to those planning to start home-based postpartum care, which may contribute to improving quality of care, employees' satisfaction and prevent burnout.
