Evaluation of a piloted digital reproductive health registry in Jordan to improve mother and child health.
Article in Reproductive health, 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
backgroundPrimary data on antenatal care services in Jordan are stored in diverse systems among hospitals and Mother & Child Health (MCH) centers. The resulting information flow gaps between healthcare levels challenge the quality and continuity of MCH care. To close these data and care delivery gaps, a harmonized Reproductive Health Registry (hRHR) was designed and piloted to bring data in a consistent/digital/readily accessible format and enhance the current health information system. Our study evaluated the perceptions on the newly developed hRHR's improvement of the delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in 19 healthcare centers where the hRHR was piloted.
methodsWe utilized a mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative assessments). Three tools were used for Key Informants/stakeholders, services providers, and women.
resultsA total of 13 SRH stakeholders, 37 service providers, and 855 women/service users participated in this evaluation. All SRH stakeholders agreed that the hRHR is responding to a need for digitalization of routine MCH data, medical files, and reports. They all agreed that the synchronization with the currently used Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) and the hRHR Web-based application will enhance the expansion and needed upgrades in the future. For service providers, 73% were satisfied with the system, 78.4% were willing to keep using it, and 81.1% indicated that the hRHR is highly useful to health providers. For women/service users, 89.2% agreed/strongly agreed that the new system improves the confidentiality and privacy of their health information, and 89.7% agreed/strongly agreed that the new system allows health staff to easily access patient information. There were also foreseeable challenges including fragmentation of electronic data management, lack of connectivity across health services, limited ownership, dependence on external funding as impeding factor for scalability, poor IT infrastructure still disrupting service in MCH centers and affecting data entry, and limited electronic connectivity/reporting access impacting the continuity of care.
conclusionThe new hRHR has a high acceptance level among stakeholders, health providers and women using MCH services. The evaluation showed that the system improved documentation of data, decreased time, and effort of data reporting and retrieval, and improved access to patient data.
