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

objectivesto analyze the communication between healthcare professionals and parturients during the childbirth experience from the perspective of women.

methodsthis sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted with postpartum women in a teaching maternity hospital. The first phase (quantitative) involved a descriptive analysis of 265 responses from the Mother-Baby Friendly Birthing Facilities Thermometer. In the second phase (qualitative), 44 interviews were conducted with postpartum women. Descriptive and content analysis, using a thematic approach, was applied.

resultsdata analysis and integration identified limitations in information transmission, a lack of understanding, and restricted autonomy in decision-making processes. Information was conveyed by the healthcare team in an authoritative manner. However, discharge instructions were well understood.

conclusionscommunication between healthcare professionals and parturients during the childbirth experience is shaped by power dynamics, underscoring the need to reconsider communication as an essential component of maternal care.
