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

objectiveThe present study was aimed at investigating how midwives used their birth technology-related competence in labor management.

methodThe study sample consisted of 14 midwives. Data were collected through interviews and by observing how the midwives followed up pregnant women. During the observations, the "Midwife Information Form", "Form to Assess Competence Areas of Midwives in Birth Technology" and "Form to Assess Technology Used in Labor" were used. Each midwife was observed five times.

resultsThe assessment of the birth technology competence areas of the midwives revealed that they had deficiencies in the "caring", "communication" sub-domains of the interpersonal skills domain and "decision making", "traditional midwifery skills" sub-domains of the clinical competence domain.

conclusionAccording to the analysis of the assessment of the technology used, the midwives working in delivery rooms tended to use low-tech devices. Traditional midwifery skills used by the participating midwives during labor were inadequate.
