Bereavement Care Experiences of Mothers Following Stillbirth and Neonatal Death: A Latent Class Analysis.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 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
objectiveThis study examined nuanced preferences and unmet needs for bereavement care of mothers who experienced stillbirth or neonatal death.
designCross-sectional survey.
settingThe Philippines. SAMPLE: A total of 169 bereaved mothers aged 18 years or older who had experienced stillbirth or neonatal death on or after 30 January 2020 in the Philippines.
methodsResponse patterns to nine self-administered questions about desired bereavement care and the care they received were analysed using latent class analysis. Measurement invariance was assessed across participant types and urbanicity. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the associations between latent classes, demographics and perinatal loss information.
main outcome measuresDesired type of bereavement care and unmet need for bereavement care.
resultsWe identified three mutually exclusive stable latent classes related to desired care and unmet needs. For desired bereavement care, one class was characterised by a strong preference for seeing, holding, spending time with, and naming the baby, but low desire in memory making (25.1%). This preference was more common among mothers from urban areas (aOR = 3.04) and those who experienced stillbirth (aOR = 3.07), compared to those from rural areas and who experienced neonatal death, respectively. Regarding unmet need for bereavement care, one class reported unmet needs for memory making (28.3%), with preterm mothers (aOR = 3.11) three times more likely to belong to this class than those who delivered full-term.
conclusionThis study offers novel insights into the complex bereavement care preferences and needs of mothers who experienced perinatal loss. The findings can inform future frameworks and guide the development of culturally appropriate, context-specific interventions for mothers and families.
