Unplanned visits and midwife-led antenatal care.
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. 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
introductionMidwives provide antenatal care to women to ensure the health of both mother and baby, according to women's needs. This study aims to investigate demographic and social, clinical and obstetrical factors that may be associated with unplanned visits to the emergency by nulliparous and multiparous women who received midwifery care during the antenatal period.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study with data collection from medical records of the CHU Saint-Pierre hospital. A total of 971 women gave birth between 1 January and 31 December 2017 and received midwifery-led care during their pregnancy. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were performed separately for nulliparous and multiparous women.
resultsFor nulliparae (n=246), the odds of visiting emergency services during pregnancy were 1.45 times (95% CI: 1.08-2.27) higher in women with more previous pregnancies than women with less previous pregnancies, 3.57 times (95% CI: 1.43-11.11) more likely in women without than with high-level hypertension, and 1.09 times (95% CI: 1.01-1.25) more likely in women with less previous midwifery-led visits than women with more previous midwifery-led visits. For multiparae (n=444), the odds of visiting emergency services during pregnancy were 2.12 times (95% CI: 1.06-6.07) higher in women presenting risk factors at first consultation than women without such factors.
conclusionsFor nulliparous and multiparous women, some characteristics seem to be associated with unplanned visits. Spontaneous visits may be driven by a need for care perceived by women and/or their partner but not specifically by urgent or unfavorable medical conditions.
