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

BackgroundDespite the prevalence and impacts of pregnancy loss, there is a lack of statutory or workplace-based supports for workers experiencing pregnancy loss, especially before the point of viability. As reproductive and working ages overlap, workplaces can play a significant role in pregnancy loss experiences.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to map the available literature on workplace supports for pregnancy loss before viability.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review following JBI Guidance and a pre-registered protocol. We searched eight academic databases/platforms, grey literature sources, and reference lists for eligible documents (2012-2022).ResultsFollowing title and abstract screening and full-text review, 48 records were included for analysis: 18 reports, 15 journal articles, 6 guides/codes of practice, 3 theses, 2 book/book chapters, and 4 other narrative records. Secondary research was the most common methodology employed (
