Comparing State-Level and Facility-Based Review to Assess Quality of Severe Maternal Morbidity Reviews.
Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. 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
objectiveTo compare results from facility-level and state-level severe maternal morbidity (SMM) reviews in Illinois.
designWe report descriptive characteristics about SMM cases and compare the results of both review processes, including the primary cause, assessment of preventability, and factors that contributed to the severity of the SMM cases.
settingAll birthing hospitals in Illinois.
participantsA total of 81 SMM cases were reviewed by a facility-level committee and the state-level review committee. SMM was defined as any intensive care or critical care unit admission and/or transfusion of 4 or more units of packed red blood cells from conception to 42 days postpartum.
resultsAmong the cases reviewed by both committees, hemorrhage was the primary cause of morbidity, with 26 (32.1%) and 38 (46.9%) hemorrhage cases identified by the facility-level and state-level committees, respectively. Both committees identified infection/sepsis (n = 12) and preeclampsia/eclampsia (n = 12) as the next most common causes of SMM. State-level review found more cases potentially preventable (n = 29, 35.8% vs n = 18, 22.2%) and more cases not preventable but improvement in care needed (n = 31, 38.3% vs n = 27, 33.3%). State-level review found more provider and system opportunities to alter the SMM outcome and fewer patient opportunities than facility-level review.
conclusionState-level review found more SMM cases potentially preventable and identified more opportunities to improve care than facility-level review. State-level review has the potential to strengthen facility-level reviews by identifying opportunities to improve the review process and develop recommendations and tools to aid facility-level reviews.
