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

backgroundPostpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Effective management of PPH relies on the interdependent roles of various healthcare professions to ensure safe, high quality outcomes. This scoping review aims to explore and synthesise literature of the contribution of interprofessional collaboration in preventing and managing postpartum haemorrhage.

designThe review adopted a scoping review methodology underpinned by Arksey and O'Malley's five stage framework. Four databases (CINHAL, Scopus, PubMed, and Medline) were searched for sources. The inclusion criteria consisted of full-text articles published in English between 2000 and 2024, across various research designs.

resultsThe review demonstrates that effective interprofessional collaboration has the potential to ensure prompt diagnosis and management of PPH, while also promoting positive patient and team dynamics outcomes. Moreover, interprofessional collaboration optimises resource utilisation and team synergy, with an awareness of each healthcare professional's role, mutual trust and respect, and shared leadership.

conclusionPreventing and managing PPH depends on highly effective interprofessional collaboration. To promote safe healthcare delivery during PPH emergencies, strengthening interprofessional collaboration practices is encouraged through various measures. These include interprofessional collaborative quality improvement initiatives, team-based PPH protocols, interprofessional situ simulation training, and PPH mock drills. These strategies provide healthcare systems with structures for better preparedness and swift interprofessional collaborative intervention to prevent complications of postpartum haemorrhage.
