An Exploration of Maternal Health Care Providers' Perspectives on Respectful Maternity Care in the United States: A Scoping Review Protocol.
Review in Health equity, 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
Background: Maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the United States among racially minoritized populations have continued to worsen over the past decade. Reviews have examined the maternity care experiences and outcomes of Black individuals in the United States. However, few reviews have examined maternal health care providers' experiences in the United States. Purpose: To comprehensively assess the current evidence and knowledge gaps related to maternal health care providers' perspectives on providing respectful maternity care to Black patients. Method: The methodology is in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, and the Joanna Briggs Institute enhanced scoping review framework. A literature search using medical subject headings on the terms "Maternity care providers," "Perspective," "Respectful maternity care," "Person-centered maternity," "Compassionate maternity care" together with BOOLEAN operators ("AND"/"OR") will be conducted via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL. The search will be limited to studies conducted in the United States, in English, and from 2013 to 2024. A Gray literature search will be conducted. Retrieved articles will be imported into Zotero to remove duplicates and imported to Covidence. Studies will be appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. A random-effects meta-analysis will be conducted based on the homogeneity of the included studies. If quantitative synthesis or meta-analysis is not appropriate due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, a combination of narrative and thematic synthesis methodology will be employed. Ethics and Dissemination: Ethics approval is not required for the scoping review, and these findings will be submitted for open-access publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. Discussion: The findings from this scoping review will help provide a comprehensive summary of clinicians' perspectives on delivering facility-based maternity care free of discrimination and maltreatment, which can significantly inform policies to enhance quality and equitable maternity care services.
