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

The primary aim of this rapid review was to synthesize the literature on the healthcare experiences of women with substance use disorders (SUDs) during the prenatal and postnatal periods. The secondary aim was to discuss the implications of the findings, in the context of primary care nurse practitioner (NP) practice. A rapid review was conducted, synthesizing research evidence using abbreviated, systematic review methods to generate evidence in a shorter amount of time. Data sources, MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL Full-Text (EBSCO), and PsycINFO (EBSCO), were searched in March 2020. The search strategy was developed for MEDLINE by testing identified terms. Those producing unique results were included in the final search, adapted for each database. Inclusion criteria were primary qualitative studies of prenatal and/or postnatal healthcare experiences from the perspective of women with SUDs, published in English, and available in full-text. Twenty-five articles were included, the majority from the United States of America. Using thematic analysis, five themes were identified: (i) stigma, (ii) involvement with child protective services, (iii) lack of supportive education, (iv) the impact of relationships, and (v) challenges accessing holistic care. Further research is required on the prenatal and postpartum healthcare experiences of women with SUDs in the primary care setting receiving care from an NP. More could be learned from the postpartum experiences of women with SUDs, given that the existing literature focuses on pregnancy, with some attention to the neonatal intensive care unit. Pregnant women with SUDs are over-represented among women who receive suboptimal prenatal and postnatal care. Understanding their healthcare experiences is important for developing strategies to improve access to care, thereby improving health outcomes for both mother and infant. Primary care NPs working with women with SUDs will benefit from this review, to inform their practice when caring for this population.
