Parent and perinatal professional priorities and perspectives for the pre-birth periviable conversation: a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews.

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
Background: Periviable birth (22 + 0-23 + 6 weeks) presents clinicians and parents with numerous ethical, psychological and practical difficulties. The study aimed to identify key features within pre-birth periviable conversations for both professionals and parents, including priorities and challenges. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from the key stakeholder groups: neonatologists/paediatricians ( Results: Three themes were identified summarising the parent and professional perspectives within the pre-birth periviable conversations: chronology and narrative within pre-birth conversations, different perspectives on uncertainty and the role of transparency within periviable trauma. The trauma experienced by parents through periviable birth can be compounded through poor communication practices of perinatal professionals. These themes demonstrate that the information provided to parents should consistently outline all available care options relevant to their baby, including compassionately delivered, but honest and descriptive accounts of emotive options, such as comfort care. Information should be individualised to the specific circumstances and risk factors of that individual family and incorporate discussion of topics key to the 'good parent belief' to empower parents within their role. Conclusion: Perinatal professionals need to be able to utilise transparent communication, individualisation of information and understand the necessary role that narrative plays within decision-making. Future research is required to better understand the educational methods best suited to train perinatal professionals to incorporate these, and other trauma-informed care principles, within their communication and interactions with future parents.
