Women's Childbirth Experiences in the WILL Randomised Trial (When to Induce Labour to Limit Risk in Pregnancy Hypertension): A Mixed Methods Analysis.
Trial report in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 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 compare childbirth satisfaction in women with chronic or gestational hypertension, randomised to 'planned early term birth at 38
designRandomised trial.
settingForty-two consultant-led maternity units, United Kingdom. POPULATION: 357/403 women randomised completed the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ).
methodsMixed-methods analysis of the 22-item CEQ, assessing: 'Own capacity', 'Professional support', 'Perceived safety' and 'Participation'. Directed content analysis sorted free-text comments into themes covered by the CEQ and two additional themes.
main outcome measuresCEQ scores overall and by domain.
resultsIn intervention (vs. control) groups, the CEQ was completed by 177/202, 88.1% (vs. 180/202, 89.1%) participants, and 378 free-text comments were made by 93/177, 52.5% (vs. 98/180, 54.4%) participants. There was no significant difference in CEQ scores overall (3.1 ± 0.4 vs. 3.1 ± 0.4, respectively) or by domain ('Own capacity' [2.8 ± 0.5 vs. 2.7 ± 0.5, respectively]; 'Professional support' [3.7 ± 0.5 vs. 3.7 ± 0.6, respectively]; 'Perceived safety' [3.2 ± 0.6 vs. 3.1 ± 0.6, respectively]; and 'Participation' [2.6 ± 0.7 vs. 2.7 ± 0.6]). Most comments were positive (222/378, 58.7%), and about 'Relational care and care interactions' (CEQ 'Professional support'). Neither the number nor positivity of comments appeared to differ between groups.
conclusionFor women with chronic or gestational hypertension who remain well at term, we found no difference in childbirth experience between women randomised to planned early term birth versus usual care at term. Shared decisions about timing of birth may be more influenced by differences in clinical outcomes and costs.
