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

Maternal outcomes in the United States are often negative, despite increasing attention over the last several decades. Improving the quality of care is a key strategy to improve outcomes, and state Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQCs) are important networks working to improve maternal health care quality and outcomes. A patient safety bundle is an organized set of evidence-informed practices that are packaged to ease implementation advancing the uptake of these practices and reducing variation in care. PQCs use PSBs and other quality improvement methods to improve hospital care processes, resulting in improved outcomes.
