Nurse Perceptions of Barriers to Infection Prevention and Control in Labor and Delivery.
Article in Journal of obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing : JOGNN, 2025. 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 identify nurse perceptions of barriers to performing recommended infection prevention and control practices in labor and delivery to inform future resources tailored to this setting.
designQualitative focus groups.
settingThe 2023 annual convention of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, New Orleans, LA.
participantsA convenience sample of 16 labor and delivery nurses.
methodsStaff of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted two focus groups using a standardized script. Coding was performed by three reviewers using Krueger's systematic analysis process.
resultsAmong the 16 participants, 94% were registered nurses, and 6% were advanced practice registered nurses. From our analysis of the data, five major themes emerged, including the following: Lack of Individual and Organizational Accountability in Implementing Recommended Infection Prevention and Control Practices; Inconsistent Application of Guidance Across State, Hospital, and Specialty; The Unpredictable Nature of the Labor and Delivery Setting; Labor and Delivery Is Not Prioritized in the Hospital for Infection Prevention and Control Resources; and Lack of Coordination Across Stages of Care From Prenatal to Postpartum. CONCLUSION(S): We identified barriers experienced by nurses to consistently implementing infection prevention and control practices in the labor and delivery setting. These barriers can be addressed through targeted interventions and the development of obstetric-specific infection prevention and control resources.
