Operation status, quality, and premature birth information in obstetrics and gynecology facility websites in Korea: an evaluation study.
Article in Women's health nursing (Seoul, Korea), 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
purposeThis study aimed to identify the operational status and evaluate the quality of websites run by obstetrics and gynecology medical facilities in Korea, as well as to examine the information provided about premature birth.
methodsData were collected in April 2022 using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service website. A list of tertiary hospitals, general hospitals, hospital (primary-level institutions with ≥30 beds), and midwifery centers, along with their website addresses, was obtained. A total of 566 websites were analyzed. Information on premature birth was retrieved using integrated search functions on medical facility websites. Text- and video-based content related to premature birth was collected and analyzed using NVivo software (Lumivero).
resultsOf 614 obstetrics and gynecology medical facilities, 566 (92.2%) operated websites and 166 (29.3%) had an integrated search function. Premature birth-related information was overwhelmingly text-based (98.7%). The information provided primarily concerned primary prevention. The mean (standard deviation) quality scores of the websites were as follows: purposefulness 4.00 (0.00), credibility 3.58 (0.25), interactivity 3.37 (0.93), currency 3.90 (0.27), ease of use 3.75 (0.18), functionality 4.00 (0.03), design 3.65 (0.38), and confidentiality 3.98 (0.24).
conclusionThe study revealed disparities in website operation across medical institution classifications, limitations in the format of premature birth information, imbalances in content, and gaps in website quality. Future efforts should focus on diversifying both the format and scope of premature birth information while improving website quality across all levels of facilities, including general hospitals and midwifery centers.
