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

The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Committee on Health Systems Strengthening and Respectful Care recognizes the detrimental effects of disrespectful and abusive practices within maternity care on maternal and neonatal health outcomes. In response, the committee advocates for the implementation of strategic, evidence-based interventions aimed at safeguarding women from substandard and disrespectful treatment during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This statement presents FIGO's recommendations for adopting respectful maternity care into health systems. The proposed policy interventions and clinical strategies are designed to foster compassionate, person-centered, and culturally competent care, thereby contributing to improved maternal and perinatal outcomes globally.
