Process Evaluation of Health System Responsiveness Level and Associated Factors Among Mothers Gave Birth at Obstetric Ward in a Tertiary Hospital, Southwest of Ethiopia: Mixed Study Methods.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: The term responsiveness emerged during the World Health Organization (WHO) report in 2000 as new and essential goals of the health systems to meet the needs of people to their expectations from different services being given in healthcare systems. Obstetric violence and childbirth mistreatment are global problems, but the worst obstetric violence usually occurs in underdeveloped countries. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness of obstetric service at Jimma University Medical Center. Methods: A single-case study design with quantitative and qualitative data collection was employed. Availability with 17 indicators and health system responsiveness with 24 indicators were used. Consecutive sampling technique was used to select the clients and qualitative data were collected from key informants. SPSS version 25 was used for the analysis of quantitative data, whereas thematic analysis was conducted for qualitative data. A multiple linear regression model was fitted after all assumptions were checked and fit to ensure the relation of the dependent variable with independent variables. Results: The overall evaluation was 75.6% and judged good. The resource availability and health system responsiveness were 85.5% and 69.7%, which were judged very good and fair, respectively. A stethoscope and thermometer were not available, while 40% glucose, dexamethasone, and intravenous fluid were the most frequently stocked-out supplies. Dignity (72.1%), confidentiality (71.4%), and prompt attention (70%) were the top three good scores for the health system's responsiveness. Health system responsiveness significantly associated with the following: Not attending formal education, attending college and above, place of delivery (health center), mode of delivery (cesarean section), and being merchant. Conclusion & Recommendation: The health system responsiveness of delivery service in study setting was good. All stakeholders should work for improving the health system's responsiveness in delivery service.
