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
aimThe aim of this study was to explore the role of Endorsed Midwives employed in an Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) and to assess the impact on Aboriginal mothers and babies using the service.
backgroundCurrent research on the role of the Endorsed Midwife (EM) is limited, with no available evidence regarding its application in an AMS setting. Health disparities persist in the outcomes of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal mothers and babies. Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) strives to address these challenges by providing culturally safe maternity care. However, there is minimal evidence on the effectiveness of EMs in AMS settings.
methodThis study used yarning to conduct interviews with EMs and Yorgas receiving care in an AMS in Western Australia.
resultsKey themes identified from the EMs included greater job satisfaction, increased flexibility to deliver holistic care and enhanced collaboration within the multidisciplinary team. In contrast, the Yorgas emphasised the development of trusting relationships with the EMs and their appreciation for culturally appropriate, continuous care.
conclusionsThis study provides a holistic perspective on the role of EMs in AMS settings, contributing valuable knowledge to EMs' practice while amplifying the voices of Yorgas who accessed the AMS. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: The results of this study indicate that EMs possess enhanced capacity and flexibility in their roles, which contributes to greater job satisfaction whilst better meeting the needs of Yorgas' birthing in AMSs. IMPACT: This study explored the impact of Endorsed Midwives in an AMS. Endorsed midwives achieved greater job satisfaction and were well received by Aboriginal patients. This research increased knowledge of the benefits of Endorsed Midwives employed in an AMS, thereby enhancing the care of Aboriginal clients. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the SQRQ guidelines for reporting qualitative research. PATIENT/PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The study was overseen by an Aboriginal advisory circle, who actively participated in the research process with a focus on culturally appropriate ways of knowing, being and doing research. The Advisory circle was involved from conception and design to data acquisition, analysis, as well as interpretation of data.
