1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHaving a good provision of respectful maternity care (RMC) to a woman who gives childbirth is a crucial component of maternal health care to result in positive maternal and neonatal outcomes. Disrespect and lack of women-centered care in birth discourage a woman from seeking healthcare during childbirth contributing to poor healthcare-seeking behaviour and dissatisfaction with the maternity service. The current study aimed to assess key determinants of RMC during childbirth at selected public health facilities of the Gofa zone, Southern Ethiopia.

methodsA cross-sectional study design was conducted from March to April 2021 among 390 women who gave birth in eight randomly selected public health facilities of Gofa zone, Southern Ethiopia. The level of RMC was measured using structured exit interview items. A structured-interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and then entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 25 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify determinants of RMC among women.

resultsA total of 390 women responded to the exit interview making a response rate of 100%. The mean (± SD) age of the 390 women was 27.9 (± 4.85) years. The overall prevalence of women who received RMC was 40.5%, 95% CI (36-45%). Two hundred and ninety-seven (76.2%; n = 297/390) women had antenatal care (ANC) attendance in the index pregnancy. A woman who had planned pregnancy (AOR = 1.72, CI: 1.04, 2.85), planned to deliver in a health facility (AOR = 1.68, CI: 1.00, 2.81), presence of familial support (AOR = 2.04, CI: 1.20, 3.48), and had information about service availability (AOR = 4.44, CI: 2.09, 9.42) were associated with RMC among women.

conclusionThe provision of respectful maternity care in the study area was low when compared with local studies. Planned pregnancy, plan to deliver in a health facility, family support, and presence of information about service availability were factors associated with RMC among women. More attention should be given to training and supportive supervision of health care professionals on respectful maternity care and its standards to increase service uptake and make service more women-centred.
