Neonatal resuscitation after birth: Swedish midwives' experiences of and perceptions about separation of mothers and their newborn babies.

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
introductionThis study aimed to investigate midwives' experiences of and perceptions about mother-baby separation during resuscitation of the baby following birth.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted using an author-designed questionnaire. Fifty-four midwives from two Swedish birth units with different working methods regarding neonatal resuscitation - at the mother's bedside in the birth room or in a designated resuscitation room outside the birth room - completed the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsMost midwives had experience of removing a newborn baby in need of critical care from the birth room, thus separating the mother and baby. The midwives identified the difficulties and challenges involved in carrying out emergency care in the birth room after birth and had divergent opinions about what they considered possible in these birth situations. They agreed on the benefits, for both mother and baby, in performing emergency care in the birth room and avoiding a separation altogether, if possible.
conclusionsThere are good opportunities to reduce separation of mother and baby after birth; training, knowledge, education and the right environmental conditions are important factors in successfully implementing new ways of working. It is possible to work towards reducing separation and this work should continue and strive to eliminate separation as far as possible.
