Language-supported labor ward visits for pregnant migrant women: Staff experiences in a Swedish hospital.
Article in European journal of midwifery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe aim of this study was to explore midwives' and assistant nurses' experiences of providing extra support to non-Swedish-speaking migrants by offering individual language-supported visits to the labor ward during pregnancy.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with six guides, midwives or assistant nurses, working in the INFÖR (Individuell förlossningsförberedelse) project at Södertälje hospital in Sweden. INFOR includes a two-hour individual language-supported visit at the labor ward, for non-Swedish speaking pregnant women and their partners. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted.
resultsThe guides described INFOR as being a bridge and creating safety, achieved by meeting with women and providing practical information. The guides felt that they fulfilled an important purpose, they were dedicated and adapted to the women's individual needs. Providing extra language-assisted support to migrant pregnant women was developing and enriching, but the guides highlighted some barriers. Communicating via an interpreter was a challenge and the women were in need of more and extended meetings. The guides wished that INFOR could become a standard part of antenatal care, but the model needs to be further developed, and a better system for recruitment must be introduced.
conclusionsThe guides experienced that the INFOR model is valuable in creating safety to pregnant migrant women before birth. The model is appreciated by the expectant couples, midwives and assistant nurses, and could be implemented as standard care. However, it is important to adapt the visits to the women's and their families' needs and goals, and structure needs to be developed before implementation.
