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
backgroundGeorgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates within the US. This study describes the qualitative needs assessment undertaken to understand the needs of rural and underserved women and their perspectives on implementing a self monitoring application during pregnancy and postpartum.
methodsQualitative methodology was used to conduct the needs assessment of 12 health care providers (nurses, nurse-midwives, patient care coordinators, and physicians) and 25 women from rural and underserved populations in Georgia was conducted to ascertain common themes on three topics: pregnancy care experiences, comfort with technology, and initial perspectives on the proposed VidaRPM application. Transcription, coding, and consensus were conducted using content analysis and a Cohen's Kappa coefficient was calculated to identify level of overall agreement between raters for the representative quotes identified for each theme.
resultsThe overall agreement for the representative quotes that were chosen for each theme was in strong agreement (κ = 0.832). The major provider feedback included the following regarding the VidaRPM app: inclusion of questions to monitor physical well-being, embedded valid and reliable educational resources, and multiple modalities. The overall feedback from the mothers regarding the VidaRPM application was the virtual aspect helped overcome the barriers to accessing care, comfort with both WiFi and technology, and sustainable utility. DISCUSSION: The needs of rural and underserved pregnant women and their providers were assessed to develop and refine the VidaRPM app. This qualitative study on the VidaRPM app is the first step towards closing the gap between providers and patients during prenatal and postpartum periods by empowering and educating women into the first-year postpartum living in rural and underserved areas.
