Digitization in nursing processes and the use of clinical decision support systems: do they improve perinatal indicators?
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe increasing integration of digital technologies in healthcare has significantly enhanced the efficiency and quality of maternal and infant care services, with national and international bodies emphasizing the use of quality indicators to monitor and improve outcomes. Nursing plays a crucial role in this process, and the implementation of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) can further support nurses in providing high-quality care.
aimThis study was carried out to determine the effects of digitization efforts and the CDSS, which were designed to improve perinatal indicators, on "safe childbirth checklist usage rates", "rates of infants discharged following exclusive breastfeeding", and "rates of mother-infant pairs starting skin-to-skin contact within one hour after delivery".
methodsThe data for this retrospective, descriptive, and correlational study were collected between January and May 2024. The data, which were used to evaluate the perinatal indicators selected for the study and the effectiveness of digitization efforts and the CDSS designed for nursing, were obtained from indicator and log database records made in 2021-2023 in the Turkey Health Quality Indicators System (THQIS).
conclusionIn the comparisons of the World Health Organization safe childbirth checklist usage rates, rates of infants discharged following exclusive breastfeeding, and rates of mother-infant pairs starting skin-to-skin contact within one hour after delivery according to the THQIS records in 2021, 2022, and 2023, the increase from 2021 to 2022 and the increase from the average of 2021-2022 to 2023 were found statistically significant. Digitization in nursing processes and the use of the CDSS were found to be highly beneficial for improving the perinatal indicators examined in the present study.
