Work Experience and Attitudes About Birth in Relation to Nurses' Cesarean Rates for Women With Low-Risk Pregnancies.
Article in Journal of obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing : JOGNN, 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
objectiveTo examine the relationships among years of experience and attitudes about birth among labor and delivery nurses and their individual cesarean rates for women with low-risk pregnancies.
designNon-experimental correlational study.
settingOne large academic medical center in the northeastern United States.
participantsLabor and delivery nurses (N = 68).
methodsWe collected data through a one-time online survey that included a demographic questionnaire and the Nurse Attitudes and Beliefs Questionnaire-Revised. We measured years of overall registered nursing experience, labor and delivery experience, and experience on the unit and calculated cesarean rates using data from retrospective chart reviews of women with low-risk pregnancies (nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex; NTSV) whose births were attended by participants. We used descriptive statistics and chi-square tests with calculated odds ratios and confidence intervals for the analyses and compared rates above and below the median threshold.
resultsNurse cesarean rates for women with NTSV pregnancies ranged from 2% to 46%. Nurses with more years of work experience as registered nurses, in labor and delivery, and on their current units had greater odds of lower cesarean rates (≤24%) than those with less work experience. In addition, participants who worked the day shift, served as charge nurses, or held part-time or per-diem positions had greater odds of lower cesarean rates (≤24%) than those who worked the night shift, were not in charge nurse roles, or worked full-time. We found no significant correlation between attitudes about birth and nurse cesarean rates.
conclusionOur results suggest that increased years of nursing experience could be correlated with lower cesarean rates for women with low-risk pregnancies. Further research with larger samples is warranted to better understand the effect of nursing experience and to explore additional contributing factors.
