A Sierra Leone 2021 Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment: A Call to Action to Augment Clinical Precepting.
Article in Annals of global health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: Sierra Leone has one of the highest maternal mortality and infant mortality rates globally. We share findings from a Midwifery Clinical Training Needs Assessment, conducted in 2021 as a collaboration between the Government of Sierra Leone and Seed Global Health. The assessment identified existing needs and gaps in midwifery clinical training at health facilities in Sierra Leone from various stakeholders' perspectives. Methods: The descriptive needs assessment utilized mixed methods, including surveys, focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and reviews of maternal medical records. Results: The following showed needs and gaps in labor and delivery management; record keeping; triage processes; clinical education for students, recent graduates, and preceptors; and lack of infrastructure and resources. Conclusion: The knowledge gained from this needs assessment can further the development of midwifery clinical training programs in Sierra Leone and other low-income countries facing similar challenges. We discuss the implication of our findings.
