Women's experiences of maternity waiting homes in sub-Saharan Africa: a qualitative systematic review protocol.
Article in JBI evidence synthesis, 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
objectiveThe objective of this review is to synthesize women's experiences related to the use of maternity waiting homes in sub-Saharan Africa.
introductionMost maternal deaths occur within resource-limited settings. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for around 86% of all maternal deaths worldwide, with sub-Saharan Africa alone contributing roughly two-thirds of all maternal deaths. The long distances that women must travel to reach health facilities has been highlighted as the main cause of maternal death. Maternity waiting homes have been recognized as a strategy to enhance maternal health outcomes by bringing women living in geographically isolated locations closer to health facilities. However, maternity waiting home utilization rates are low and vary across different settings. INCLUSION CRITERIA: The study population will be women (15 to 49 years of age) living in sub-Saharan Africa who have experiences related to maternity waiting home use. This may include experiences with service provisions during the final weeks of pregnancy and 2 weeks after childbirth. Stays of at least 1 day will be considered for inclusion.
methodsDatabases including MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Hinari will be searched. Gray literature sources will include Google Scholar and MedNar. Studies published in English from January 2000 onward will be included. Two independent reviewers will screen the titles and abstracts, followed by an examination of full-text papers. Any disagreements will be handled through discussion or consultation with a third reviewer. Two reviewers will independently assess the methodological quality of included studies and extract the data. The articles will be meta-aggregated and presented in tabular or narrative format.
