Utilization of Partograph for Labor Management Among Healthcare Providers in Healthcare Facilities in India: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. 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
The partograph is a cost-effective tool used to monitor maternal and fetal conditions during labor. It plays a crucial role in facilitating prompt and appropriate intervention in the event of abnormal labor. Effective and timely detection of abnormal labor progression and proactive measures to prevent prolonged labor is crucial in mitigating the potential risks associated with postnatal hemorrhage, sepsis, obstructed labor, uterine rupture, and its subsequent complications. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review to assess the level of knowledge, practice, and attitude related to the utilization of partographs among healthcare providers in the labor room of healthcare facilities. Systematic reviews of articles were collected from online databases to analyze the utilization of a partograph for labor management among healthcare providers in healthcare facilities in India. A total of 21 articles were selected to examine the outcomes of partograph utilization. The articles included healthcare facilities in 15 Indian states. The majority of the study participants were nurses and midwives. Most of the healthcare providers showed average or inadequate knowledge, while some demonstrated good knowledge about the partograph. Most articles concluded that there was inadequate practice and accuracy in completing the partograph. This inadequacy is observed across various designations of healthcare providers. This review found that the major challenges for healthcare providers include the unavailability of partographs, a shortage of healthcare providers, insufficient knowledge and competence, and limited training opportunities. Partograph training led to improvements in knowledge, tool utilization, and attitudes, as shown by significant differences in post-assessment outcomes. Improvement of healthcare in India necessitates strengthening partograph provision, ensuring adequate human resources, and providing regular training to healthcare providers. These interventions will serve to bridge the current gaps in partograph utilization in the country.
