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

With persistent racial inequities, cultural adaptations of health programs can promote equitable maternal mental health. Despite the intersecting identities of Black mothers with preterm birth combined with racial discrimination, previous mental health programs in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are void of the sociocultural context that perpetuates racially motivated care. This study uses a two-round Delphi process to gather knowledge on the cultural appropriateness and content validity of the adapted Mothers and Babies Online Course, a United States Prevention Service Task Force-recommended intervention for managing mental health symptoms in pregnant and new mothers for Black mothers with preterm birth. The Black feminist theory and cultural adaptation strategies were used to conceptualize the adaptation process. Opinions were solicited from Black mothers and professionals based on predetermined criteria. Eleven participants, comprising eight mothers and three professionals, participated in Round One. Of these, only one professional did not participate in Round Two, totaling 10 participants who participated in Round Two. The participants rated the adapted program-eMB 4 Blackmamas, positively, and four themes emerged, substantiating the importance of culturally responsive mental health. The themes also offered additional feedback related to improving the program delivery. Including diverse stakeholders in mental health research offers unique and balanced insights into designing culturally appropriate programs to promote and protect Black maternal mental health in the NICU.
