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

aimThis study examined the challenges and coping strategies adopted by nurses and midwives after child birth when they return to work.

designA cross-sectional design was used.

methodTwo hundred nurses and midwives with history of maternity leave were recruited from the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to take part in this study. Data were collected using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. The data were analysed with the aid of Stata 13.0.

resultsMost of the respondents claimed that they received support from relatives, day care centres and paid house helps while they resumed work. Seventy percent of the respondents indicated that they were given off day when they needed to send their child for postnatal care. Nurses and midwives depend on family members, paid house helps and day care centres to help them cater for their babies. It is recommended that hospitals set-up day care centres and breastfeeding bays attached to the institutions.
