Effectiveness of midwife/nurse-led non-invasive uterine massage in preventing postpartum haemorrhage: a quantitative systematic review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionPostpartum haemorrhage (PPH) negatively impacts women's health. Preventing and managing PPH is important, and nurse-led interventions are needed. However, no systematic review has evaluated the effectiveness of non-invasive uterine massage for PPH prevention. Therefore, this systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of midwife/nurse-led intervention in managing PPH, serving as the best available evidence to develop further guidelines and recommendations in practice and policy-making. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This systematic review will follow the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. The search will be conducted in the MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), BENTHUM Science, JBI, Cochrane, ThaiJo and Google Scholar databases. Studies will be included in English and Thai and published between 2015 and 2024. Two independent reviewers will conduct the review, with data extraction and quality evaluation. Studies will be pooled in a statistical meta-analysis using JBI System for the Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information or other software where possible. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic review does not require formal ethical approval because all data will be analysed anonymously. The results will provide an overall review and evidence of midwife/nurse-led non-invasive uterine massage intervention in preventing PPH. These findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024566382.
