Maternity care bundle for UK women with multiple long-term health conditions: coproduction workshops.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to co-produce a care bundle for women with multiple long-term health conditions (MLTC) that could be pilot tested and implemented in UK maternity services.
designOnline co-production workshops each attended by 20-30 key interest holders.
settingUnited Kingdom, October 2023-February 2024. POPULATION: Women with experience of pregnancy with MLTC, healthcare professionals and other interest holders involved in commissioning, planning and delivering care for pregnant women with MLTC.
methodsThis study followed a three-step process: (1) a consolidated list of key components of care for pregnant women with MLTC was created through secondary analysis of prior collected qualitative data; (2) the list of care components was explored during four co-production workshops; and (3) findings from (1) and (2) were synthesised to develop a maternity care bundle of 4-5 key care components for pregnant women with MLTC.
main outcome measuresA maternity care bundle of five key care components for pregnant women with MLTC.
resultsA list of 25 care components was refined to develop a proposed care bundle of five components. These were provisions of early and reliable medication advice and decision support; creation of a 'goals of care summary' accessible to women and the care team; provision of continuity of midwifery care throughout pregnancy and postnatal care; provision of a named care coordinator; and a formal postnatal handover of care from the multidisciplinary care team to the General Practitioner (GP) and secondary care team involving the woman.
conclusionsThis study coproduced an evidence-based care bundle for pregnant women with MLTC to enhance communication and ensure individualised care and support. Further collaborative work with women and professionals is required to refine, implement and evaluate its impact on outcomes.
