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

Objective: We compared healthcare provider attitudes and practices related to counseling pregnant, postpartum, and lactating women (PPLW) about emergency preparedness in 2021 and 2023. Methods: A web-based survey of United States healthcare providers was administered in 2021 ( Results: Compared to the 2021 sample, higher proportions of providers in the 2023 sample reported counseling patients on emergency preparedness as "Very Important" (31.0 % to 42.1 %) [95 % CIs: (28.7, 33.3); (39.6, 44.6)]; and reported to have counseled patients on emergency preparedness plans (29.8 % to 36.6 %) [95 % CIs: (27.5, 32.1); (34.2, 39.0)]. Providers reported similar levels of overall confidence counseling patients on emergency preparedness plans from 2021 to 2023 (53.2 % to 51.0 %) [(95 % CIs: (50.7, 55.7); (48.5, 53.6)]. However, OB/GYNs reported a significantly decreased level of overall confidence in such counseling (69.6 % to 52.4 %) [95 % CIs: (63.9, 75.3); (46.2, 58.5]. Conclusions: These findings show healthcare providers increasingly recognize emergency preparedness counseling for PPLW as very important but there remains a need to build provider confidence in counseling PPLW on emergency preparedness.
