Integrating Community Health Workers and Nurse Midwives on the Health-Care Team to Improve Birth and Breastfeeding Outcomes.
Article in The Journal of perinatal education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A plethora of international research has consistently demonstrated the efficacy of both the nurse-midwifery model and the community health worker (CHW) model in improving birth and breastfeeding outcomes, particularly among low-income women. However, these two professional groups rarely work as a team in the U.S. health-care system. Typically, certified nurse midwives are on staff at clinics and hospitals; conversely, CHWs tend to work at non-profit community organizations. Although the Community Preventive Services Task Force concluded that integrating CHWs on clinical care teams is effective, these paraprofessionals remain nearly excluded from the healthcare organization because they are not licensed healthcare professionals, hence, non reimbursable. We integrated these two health professional groups within a small, community-based, nonprofit, and charitable women's clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, serving a predominantly Medicaid population to determine if their combined health services would significantly improve birth and breastfeeding outcomes among an intervention group compared with a control group that received usual standard care from an obstetrician.
